Does the HUD need to be signed in an escrow state?

In an escrow state, the HUD-1 Settlement Statement is not typically required to be signed by the parties involved. However, it is important for buyers and sellers to review the HUD-1 for accuracy before the closing. Some states may have different practices or requirements, particularly if they use a different form, such as the Closing Disclosure. Always check local regulations and practices to ensure compliance.
