This term for a refinance signing engagement today raised a question (as this was my maiden voyage with usage of it).
scrive·ner ˈskriv(ənər a clerk, scribe, or notary.

Another title to add to our repertoire. In the instance of this doc in one of my packages today, it's applicable to the function served as delineated above in Black's Law Dictionary citing (conveyance of a real estate deed by a lender).
