Conveyance Of Real Property To The Secretary is used by VA in cases
where loss mitigation efforts are unsuccessful and a VA-guaranteed loan
goes into foreclosure. Statutory requirements for conveyance of
properties to the Secretary are found in chapter 37 of title 38, United
States Code. The implementing regulations are found in part 36 of title
38, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). In 38 CFR 36.4323, titled
``Election to convey security'', VA explains that each conveyance or
transfer of real property to the Secretary pursuant to this section
shall be acceptable if:
The holder thereby covenants or warrants against the acts of the
holder and those claiming under the holder (e.g., by special warranty
deed); and It vests in the Secretary or will entitle the Secretary to
such title as is or would be acceptable to prudent lending
institutions, informed buyers, title companies, and attorneys,
generally, in the community in which the property is situated.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 11,977 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 41 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One-time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 17,527.
