Am I contractually obligated with my lender if docs have been signed but the loan process has not been completed.

You can back out. However, you need to be able to transfer everything asap so that you meet closing deadlines.

On a purchase transaction or a non-owner transaction and if you have signed loan docs yes....on a refinance transaction for an owner-occupied loan you have 3 days to cancel. Please check with your local real estate attorney to confirm though I believe that to be true in your state.

No.. in fact current laws state you can back out of a deal up to the day of funding, but this only is in reference to the financing.. if your purchasing a home, you could be sued by the seller if you don't close before the close of escrow date, and most lenders will not accept an appraisal done by a different lender so if the plan is to use a different lender, then it could end up costing you more.. Realistically, if you had any doubts about your loan, you should have canceled the deal long before loan doc's.. the amount of resources and man power to get your loan to where doc's have been produced and already signed is quite substantial.. so canceling after all this would be unethical.

No, you can back out up until the day you close, and 3 days after for a refinance. If you change lenders keep in mind that you are starting over. Unless it is a FHA or VA loan you will need a new appraisal for the new lender and rates may have changed.

Until you close, you are not obligated to anything. There may be some fees you need to pay (like an appraisal), but that is it. Once you close, that is a different story. On a purchase. The deal is done. On a refinance, you have 3-business days to back out. Lending in WI, MN, and SD - www.MNHomesAndLoans.com
