Attorney Authorization Approval (AAA) Matrix

Fannie Mae’s approval is required for any foreclosure-related or bankruptcy-related attorney fees and costs that exceed the maximum allowable attorney fees and costs set forth in our Servicing Guide, Servicing Guide exhibits and related updates, or other Fannie Mae guidance (hereafter “Excess Fees/Costs”).  Fannie Mae requires the attorneys to manage all Excess Fees/Costs. 

Here are some tips for using the AAA Matrix:

• Sets of fees and costs guidelines are grouped by topic. Click a topic to reveal its contents.
• Enter a topic into the search field to search for a particular word or phrase in the AAA Matrix. When you click on a topic resulting from a search, your search term is highlighted within the AAA Matrix.
• Click the print icon to print the currently selected topic.
• Click the minimize icon to close the navigation panel, and click the expand icon to redisplay the navigation panel.
