affidavit of settlement agent

Okay I tried to do a search for this but I couldn't really find an answer

I'm not sure what a settlement agent is - I'm sure that is not what I am - right?
this is for a re-fi
I plan to cross out "Settlement agent" and insert "signing agent"

Please let me know if this would be the correct course of action- if not what is?

TIA

Here is what part of the affidavit says


The affidavit states -

"I,_________,hereby certify to (name of Mortgage corp)
its successors and assigns (collectively, "Lender") that:
I acted as Settlement Agent in closing the real estate loan transaction by and between Lender and ___________________________
(individual or collectively, "borrower") on ___________________________
(the settlement date:")


then there's a statement about the borrowers getting a copy of the notice of right to cancel
and it wants me to sign as settlement agent

You are not the settlement agent. Leave that form blank.

Settlement agent generally refers to the Escrow Officer. Hope this helps.
