Pursuant to the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations for Residential Real Estate Transfer Rule, certain professionals involved in real estate closings and settlements, including attorneys, will soon be required to submit a Real Estate Report to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) regarding certain non-financed transfers of residential real estate to legal entities or trusts, unless the transfer is otherwise exempt from reporting. Information required to be reported includes numerous details about the parties to the transfer and the property itself.
The start date for reporting transactions under the new rule, which originally had been set for December 1, 2025, was recently extended to March 1, 2026.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has long raised concerns about the illicit finance risk posed by abuse of the U.S. real estate market. Please join Holland & Knight as our attorneys provide an overview of the new FinCEN reporting rule, as well as best practices for compliance.
