## Abstract

This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations governing the VA home loan program by deleting superseded provisions, amending provisions to reflect statutory changes, deleting provisions that have no legal effect, and updating a position title. This document also amends the regulations by incorporating a precedent opinion of the VA General Counsel stating that the law governing the housing loan and specially adapted housing programs does not preclude VA from approving a loan or grant when the property will be held in a Family Living Trust, provided the veteran has at least an equitable life estate in the property, the lien for any VA financing attaches to the remainder, and the trust arrangement is valid under State law.
