Closing Terminology
- Arrears = expense incurred now, but paid later (accrued items)
- Prepaid items = those items already paid, but benefits not yet received
- Debit = charge, amount a party owes and pays at closing
- Credit = amount that’s already been paid and is to be reimbursed to a party
- Proration = dividing items between the seller & buyer
E.g., real estate taxes, rents, utilities, assumed mortgage interest, etc.

Prorated Items

- Seller paid, then buyer gets debit and seller gets credit
- Seller received in advance, then Buyer gets credit and seller gets debit
- Items paid in arrears
- E.g., RE taxes, utility bills, interest on assumed mortgage
- Buyer gets credit and seller gets debit
