No where in my post did I advise anyone not to protect the BO NPPI.
So Darlin, where do you come off putting me on blast like this?
What I said is that NSAs are not responsible for the ACTIONS of the BO. If the difficult couple wants to screw the closing up for the other couple due to a family feud then that’s on those signers, so long as the NSA does their job to protect everyone’s NPPI, as it is assumed when conducting this type of work.
Working as an NSA (or NP), yes of course we have an obligation and also a duty to protect all of our client's NPPI, whether they’re signing docs for a closing or for GNW. It is assumed we would in conducting this type of work, which is why I said that this job was a no brainer. Assuming of course this NSA would do their job correctly.
IMO, this NSA could've handled the more difficult closing with just as ease as the first, had they chosen to do so because it is no different from any other closing, i.e., it is our duty to protect all signer’s NPPI from other signers.
The only way I can see that this or any other NSA could possibly be held personally responsible in this or any other similar scenarios, is if the NSA were to voluntarily, or by being careless or sloppy, in providing the signers NPPI to the other difficult couple and/or visa versa. However, having said this, and because nothing is impossible, this is one of the reasons why we obtain NSA E&O insurance.
In the end, this NSA did what was best for them and that's all that matters.
