Borrowers Names Too Long For Uad Field

Hi,

I'm filling out a 1004 UAD for a client. There are two borrowers. When filling the form I get the dreaded warning that their names are too long for the form. If I remove their middle initials the names will fit in the borrowers field, but are still too long for the owner of public record field. When there are several borrowers I normally use et al., but et al. seems odd to use for only two names. Any ideas?

Thanks...Jim
 
Change the font size...
 
Well it should be obvious to you, and now me, that I've never run into that....

I knew there was a character count for some other items but not names.....

I guess good old "see addendum"....:)

Good luck

"Heavens to murgatroyd"!

Yeah. I'm just putting the first borrowers name followed by et al. and then explaining the reason in the addendum. Unless someone else has a better idea.

Thanks,

Most software can reduce the font on a line to make it fit
 
Nope. The names are too long, not too big. I can reduce font to fit, but still too many letters to be UAD compliant.

I've been there. I just put "See Addendum" in the field on the first page and then in the addendum explain that the names are too long for the UAD formatted field and state the borrowers name. Its awkward, but I've done it twice now with no pushback.

I'm going to try the et al. way. I've done it several times when there were several owners. I'm also going to send the lender a note explaining the problem and my solution. I'll see if they get back to me. However, no matter what solution I choose and no matter how well I explain it, some idiot will ask for a revision. Wanna bet? :)

Thanks...Jim
