MSR Transfer Support
MSR Transfer Support: Transfer the File. Not the Exceptions.
Collateral inventory, document retrieval, title audits and exception tracking for servicers moving mortgage servicing rights.
Pre-Transfer Collateral Inventory
What should be in the file, established before the handoff date.
Title & Document Validation
Title, assignments and documents checked against transfer requirements.
Exception Reconciliation
Custodian exceptions tracked to the responsible party.
Transfer File Tracking
Handoff, receipt and open items on record.
An MSR Transfer Is Only Complete When the File Is Complete
A servicing transfer can have a fixed handoff date while the collateral file is still missing documents, carrying unresolved exceptions or out of step with the servicing data.
Scalance closes that gap: we inventory the collateral, retrieve final policies and trailing documents, validate boarding data and track every open item, so the receiving team gets a file that is fully accounted for.

What MSR Transfer Support Covers
Pre-Transfer Collateral Inventory & Gap Assessment
Establish what should be in the transfer file before the handoff date. Scalance reviews the collateral inventory, identifies missing or inconsistent documentation and creates a clear gap picture for the transfer team.
Final Policy & Trailing Document Retrieval
Retrieve final title policies, recorded documents and other trailing documents required to complete the file. Items are tracked against the transfer scope so missing documents do not disappear into post-transfer follow-up.
Title Audits & Gap Document Collection
Compare the transfer file against the underlying title and collateral documentation, identify discrepancies and collect the documents needed to resolve identified gaps.
Servicing Boarding Data Validation
Check servicing boarding information against the available loan and collateral documentation so the receiving file is not relying on data that conflicts with the documents behind it.
Custodian Exception Reconciliation
Review custodian exceptions, identify what is missing or inconsistent and track the responsible party and next action until the exception is resolved or properly documented.
Exception Aging & Status Reporting
Track open items by age and responsible party. Reporting can show documents received and outstanding, discrepancies requiring review, exceptions by age and ownership, and overall transfer completion status.

Boundary & Responsibility
Scalance provides operational support. Scalance does not make servicing-transfer decisions, provide legal opinions, determine investor eligibility, or replace the responsibilities of the servicer, custodian, title underwriter or legal counsel.
Where assignment preparation, recording or release-related work is involved, Scalance supports, prepares using approved instructions, coordinates and tracks. Final legal authority, underwriting decisions and transaction approvals remain with the appropriate responsible parties.
