RS 6:826: Provision for taxes, insurance

An association may require the borrower to pay monthly in advance, in addition to interest and principal payments, the equivalent of one-twelfth of the estimated annual taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents, and other charges upon the real estate securing a loan, or any of such charges, so as to enable the association to pay such charges as they become due from the funds so received. Such funds are to be held by the association, without paying interest thereon, for the credit of the borrower.
