    paragraph_quote: 'B8-5-01, General Information on Special-Purpose Legal Documents
      (05/01/2019) Introduction This topic contains information on special-purpose
      legal documents. General Information General Information Fannie Mae has specialized
      mortgage loan documentation that a borrower must execute to ensure that any
      required additional responsibilities, obligations, or rights of the borrower,
      the lender, or a third party are set out in legal documents that are separate
      and apart from the security instruments, notes, and riders that are typically
      used for mortgages delivered to Fannie Mae. These specialized legal documents
      are required for: mortgages to inter vivos revocable trusts, co-op share loans,
      Texas Section 50(a)(6) loans, HomeStyle Renovation mortgages, second mortgages
      that are part of a Community Seconds transaction, and loans secured by community
      land trust properties. Information about the requirements for each of these
      specialized mortgage documents can be found in the remaining topics in this
      chapter, and in B5-4.1-03, Texas Section 50(a)(6) Loan Underwriting, Collateral,
      and Closing Considerations. See Fannie Mae''s Legal Documents website for the
      specialized legal documents. Recent Related Announcements The table below provides
