Advanced Loan Modifications Now Available on Lightning Docs
IRVINE, April 21, 2023 – Lightning Docs, a proprietary cloud-based business purpose loan document generation system, has just completed Beta testing their advanced loan modification module. Available to all users, the platform now offers numerous loan modifications for users to select. Created by Geraci LLP attorneys and partners, Lightning Docs sets the standard in loan documents for the private lending industry.
The development team at Lightning Docs is consistently working to improve the platform for the end user through the addition of new features based on feedback from current and prospective clients.
“One of the main objectives for the Lightning Docs team is to listen and understand our clients’ needs, along with the products and services that they are offering to their clients,” said Audie Munoz, Client Service Manager for Lightning Docs. “This, in turn, lets us know what we can add or improve upon in our platform, to help make our product as streamlined and as user-friendly as possible.”
“Unlike other document systems which can only provide for basic loan modifications such as simple loan extensions, the attorneys at Lightning Docs sought an advanced system which not only produced the Modification Agreement but also advanced documentation such as entity certificates, re-affirmations of any personal guaranty, new business purpose certificates, and more,” noted Nema Daghbandan, CEO of Lightning Docs. “Just as much as Lightning Docs represents best-in-class, attorney-grade loan documents, the Modification Module now represents the most advanced legal coding available for any software product available in the marketplace.”
The latest software update will allow Lightning Docs users to modify closed loans. Some of the key options now available are:
- Change in the Amount of Principal Balance: Increasing or decreasing the original loan amount. For example, the original loan amount was originally $800K, but due to the current state of the property, the borrower needs an extra $200K, so the lender can modify the amount to reflect the full $1M. This will produce a general Modification agreement and a custom recordable security instrument identifying the change in the principal loan balance.
- Change in Interest Rate: The ability to increase or decrease the interest rate for a loan is now available.
- Extension of Maturity Date (AKA a Loan Extension) (This is the most used option). This allows the lender to extend the loan because your borrower needs more time to repay the principal balance.
Users can now select multiple options in the same Modification agreement.
“Our team is proud of the value we provide to our clients and we are determined to remain the premier provider of loan documents in the space,” said Munoz. “We look forward to implementing additional features in the coming months to address the needs of our clients and providing an opportunity to produce attorney-grade documents for all business purpose needs.
