## 13. Matters Requiring Attention

- **Critical: HOA estoppel value missing on CD Page 4.** The HOA estoppel was received 2024-09-10 but the dollar figure was not transcribed onto the Closing Disclosure. **Action:** Capitol Title to populate HOA dues field before signing on 2024-09-17. (Also flagged in `closing-disclosure` review memo dated 2024-09-13.)
- **High: Recording-fee variance.** CD shows $235 recording fee; LE showed $145. Per `closing-disclosure` review, $90 zero-tolerance cure required (or recording-fee correction if $145 is actually correct). Lender to resolve at consummation.
- **Low: Repair credit lender notice.** Lender on file with the credit, but borrower's counsel should confirm at closing that the loan documents reflect the credit as a seller-paid closing-cost contribution rather than a price reduction (different tax and lender treatment).
- **Informational: Mineral-rights reservation** — accepted by buyer; surfaced for client awareness, not action.
