I sent my final HUD in for approval and settlement attorneys fees were removed as well as other fees.  Does anyone know what fees are acceptable?

The attorney fees have to be lumped in the settlement fee to be approved.

Thanks Becky,

They asked to have attorneys fee taken off said the seller has to pay which of course he wouldnt short sale if he had the money.

Thanks that helps big time. 

Joanne, if you're in an attorney state, you can get it covered.

Smitty,

We are in NY and are an attorney state.  The negotiator is still telling me no.  I asked her if she can send me something with disallowable fees.  Do you know where I can get something like that on a reverse short sale

I just got $3,900 attorney fee approved by HUD FHA on a final HUD as a settlement fee today.

And yes this was a reverse mortgage:)
