Agree with GG. I was commissioned in California for 8 years. I administer the oath, with my right hand raised and ask "Do you solemnly swear or affirm that you are Jane D. Smith, also known as JD Smith, aka Jane Smith, aka Jack Smith?"
How about the Homeowner's/Borrower's Affidavit? If it's a non-owner occupied, the part about "no other party is in possession of the property" is important that they know that part of the statement or they could later be accused of making false statements, falsifying documents and/or perjury.
Golden Girl said it correctly, as soon as I administer the oath, the borrowers want to read the document, word for word and I am all too happy to let them. It is their property and their money.
Administering the oath after the fact, after getting the signature is just wrong and a form of deception. (I know there is a legal term for this type of action, but I'm not an attorney, yada, yada) |
