Governor Jerry Brown Signs AB 1770 into Law

Legislation by Assemblymember Matt Dababneh that clarifies the process for closing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) to ensure that homebuyers do not unknowingly assume a sellers debt when purchasing a new home has been signed into law by Gov. Edmund G. Brown, Jr.

 

"For most people their home is the largest purchase they will ever make and this bill puts in place protections against unscrupulous borrowers who could jeopardize the long term value of a homebuyers investment," said Assemblymember Dababneh (D-Encino).  "This legislation will protect homebuyers and provide clarity for all parties involved in real estate transactions." Dababneh continued.

 

AB1770 was developed in cooperation with land title companies and banks, and had bi-partisan support in the Legislature. "With an improved housing market, the pace of HELOC borrowing across the country has increased and both the Legislature and Governor have recognized the importance of making sure homebuyers are protected," said Dababneh.
