Yes it is. However, I have people that reside in Delaware, drive to me in Maryland (eastern shore) to do their signing. It saves them hundreds of dollars.

Yes De is an attorney state. People drive to a Notary in NJ like me or to Maryland like Loretta.

If you can't locate an attorny on tihs forum than you will have to look it up in the phone book. Most attorneys are charging $375 to $500 for a closing in the borrowers home. Beneficial in Delaware has to use attorneys that have set up an escrow account that will actually fund the loan.

I did a search for Delaware and I saw some "mobile notaries" that will sign loan docs in the borrowers home. Be very careful of this.

Already tried to calling several firms - no one will do. So there has to be a firm out there that covers the whole state. There are similar firms that we work with that cover SC & GA.

We will not use notary to conduct this signing - no worries.

Is there any particular reason why the borrower can not travel to MD, NJ, or PA such as being handicapped? I think your going to have a challenging time finding an attorney to perform the closing . Just my opinion, I may be wrong though.

My brother in law worked for a mortgage company in Delaware. He told me that it was almost impossible to find an attorney that is willing to travel to the borrowers home. The attorneys have "wised up" and are making the borrowers come to their office during business hours. The state may be making the rules by making this an attorney only state but the attorneys are making the rules.

People tend to forget that most legislators are attorneys. n/m
