What do preferred notaries do?
February 16th, 2010
Settlement Agents who close real estate transactions, such as Title Companies, Escrow Companies and Attorneys, often need mobile notaries to witness borrowers’ signatures on loan documents. Lenders, Builders and Estate Agents need good notaries as well.
Although only seen sometimes as a ‘clerical formality’, this small and critical component of the deal known as the ‘loan document signing’ is in truth an art form.
When an accurate signature is required over distance and need the next day, time is crucial as the deal could be dependent on its success. Clients using a specialist notary rely on them to protect their reputations as a closing professional by looking after them at this stage of development.
Therefore it is important to dispatch only those notaries that will protect the reputation of the both the representative company and that of the client.
Therefore, past the basic capability of notarisation, what is there to consider to satisfy the signing needs of any customer?
The role of the Preferred Notary is understood well by those who practice it, who feel comfortable with its importance. The customer borrowing has to feel that the notaries are neutral in the whole process, and are drafted in as specialists by the controlling agency. The notary has the task of ensuring that the borrowers are identified properly and that all of the documents pertaining to the loan are executed correctly.
Over time the Preferred Notary has become accustomed to not playing the role of the lender, estate agent, attorney, closer, title insurer seller or any other part of the process. They recognise the expertise of fellow professionals when customers ask details about terms, and the effect of the financial and legal aspects of any document they have been asked to sign. The other professionals are normally available to help to sort the needs of any of the clients.
If you are searching for a reliable practitioner within the business, I would recommend looking in the phone book under business law, or ‘solicitors Crawley’ and selecting Bennett Griffin.
