HELOC and refinance packages share many core forms, yet they differ in the number of pages, notarized documents, and post-signing requirements. A refinance commonly includes a Deed of Trust that must be notarized, plus lender and title affidavits that may require jurats. A HELOC often has fewer notarized pages but can include bank-specific riders and disclosures that require initials throughout the set.

• ID and name matching: Both package types require valid government issued ID that matches vesting. Some lenders request two forms of ID for HELOCs. We follow the assignment directions precisely.
• Notarized pages: Refinance sets almost always include a notarized Deed of Trust. HELOC sets may include a Deed of Trust or a similar security instrument depending on the lender. Affidavits that require a jurat appear in both package types when instructed by escrow.
• Right to Cancel: Both often include Notice of Right to Cancel for each borrower where applicable. The number of copies and initials are controlled by lender instructions.
• Scan backs and drop: HELOC assignments frequently request same-day scan backs before drop. Refinance files may require partial or full scan backs. We provide clean scans and carrier drop with tracking.
