Settlement Agent (tc, etc.), not a Signing Agent (notary). IMO VA is confused about our role, too. A TPL doesn't really apply to us, because you have to be an EMPLOYEE of a tc in order or qualify for a TPL. We don't underwrite title insurance, disburse funds, etc. I don't see who it serves to try to eliminate us from the process. I had a couple last night that expressed gratitude that I provide a service that comes to their home. She had surgery recently & said she wouldn't have been able to go to an office for the signing. The consumers really do appreciate us! ;-) |
