Finding Pooling and Servicing Agreements for Securitized Mortgage Loans
The “Pooling and Servicing Agreement” is the legal document that contains the responsibilities and rights of the servicer, the trustee, and others over a pool of mortgage loans. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement can be a stand alone document or it can be part of another paper, usually called the “Prospectus.” If the securitization is public, these documents must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These filings are available to the public at http://www.sec.gov.
