What are "Good Funds"?

In our October Newsletter we featured an article to enlighten our customers on the "Good Funds Act", but what exactly is the difference between "good funds" and "collected" or "actual" funds? In instances when the amount is over $50,000 from a single source- title companies are required to have collected funds in their account before any disbursements can be made. Collected Funds must be wired in to the title company's fiduciary trust account. If the transaction is under $50,000, the form of payment can be collected funds but must be at a minimum- good funds. Good funds are guaranteed funds- such as a certified check. Other examples of good funds include money order, a trust account check, or another title company's certified check. Now, if the customer insists on bringing a personal check to closing, H.B. Wilkinson Title Company can accept that check, however, we would have to wait for it to clear before any disbursements could be made. This would take a minimum of 3 days. This Act goes into effect on January 1st, 2010. Please contact your local H.B. Wilkinson Title Company with any questions.
