When a person's signature is a "squiggle", I just asks them if that represents the same as the way the docs are written. Of course, the answer is always "yes" & we proceed. I've never had one rejected.
I have heard stories from borrowers where a notary argued & insisted that they had to sign a legible signature--NOT.
IMO it's all about interpretation & some interpret "sign the name exactly as it is on the docs" to mean it has to be legible.
The whole point of having a Notary there is that we see their ID & witness them signing the docs. Anything else, IMO, is a moot point. The lender & tc shouldn't challenge our position that way either, IMO. We're there--they're not! |
