Title: Anti-Money Laundering Regulations for Residential Real Estate Transfers  
Abstract:

FinCEN published a final rule on August 29, 2024 to address money laundering vulnerabilities in the residential real estate sector. The rule, effective December 1, 2025, will require certain persons involved in real estate closings and settlements to report non-financed transfers of residential real property made to specified legal entities or trusts.  As part of the rulemaking process, FinCEN hosted three roundtables with private sector stakeholders and other members of the public. The roundtables were held virtually and included approximately 19 representatives of relevant trade associations, transparency organizations, and other types of organizations.
