Mortgage Refinance or Home Equity Loan Offers Cooling Off Period

After you sign documents for a mortgage refinance or home equity loan, you can still cancel the loan if you change your mind. 

The law says that lenders must give 3 business days to cancel a mortgage, without any penalty. You have the right to rescind until midnight of the third business day, including Saturday, but not Sunday.

When you sign mortgage loan documents, the lender gives you copies of the right of rescission notice. If you decide to cancel your home mortgage, the notice must be signed and delivered to the lender within the 3 day rescission period.

The right of rescission law does not apply to a home purchase mortgage, or a loan for investment, rental, or vacation real estate. It only applies to a refinance, home equity loan, or second mortgage on an owner occupied principal residence.
