The District of Columbia Settlement Statement (also known as the HUD-1 or HUD-1A) is a form prepared by a lender or closing agent that itemizes all fees and costs associated with a real estate transaction. It is used to provide a comprehensive breakdown of a borrower's closing costs and to document the transfer of title of the property. The form is typically prepared at the end of the closing process and is required by the District of Columbia when closing a real estate transaction. There are two versions of the form: the HUD-1 for real estate transactions with a loan, and the HUD-1A for real estate transactions without a loan. Both forms include information such as the borrower's name, loan information, settlement costs, and escrow account information. The HUD-1 and HUD-1A can be found on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) website.
