New FinCEN Reporting Requirements
Are you ready?
Wednesday, February 25, 2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
With FinCEN Representatives:
CHANNING MAVRELLIS & MEGAN HARDING
Description:
FinCEN will provide an overview of the new Residential Real Estate Rule, including the circumstances in which a report must be filed, who must file a report, what information must be provided, and when a report is due.
Beginning March 1, 2026, certain real estate professionals will be required to submit a report to FinCEN on certain transfers of residential real estate that are a high-risk for illicit finance—namely, non-financed transfers of residential real property to legal entities and trusts.
The information collected from residential real estate reporting will help combat and deter money laundering by increasing transparency in the U.S. residential real estate sector.
