I have a quitclaim deed signing tomorrow morning and I'm not sure what is wanted on a page called "Instructions for Deposit of Deed." It has a signature line with the grantor's name printed below it and to the right it has a signature line that says, "Party Executing Document" below it. I would naturally assume the grantor would sign the line above his printed name, but exactly who should sign the line to the right as the party executing document? It seems like it would be the same as the other (the grantor), but seems odd for them to ask him to sign in both places.
Also, below that there is a signature line with the name of the grantee printed below it and to the right another line that has "grantee" printed below it. Obviously, the grantee would be the one to sign both lines but it just seems redundant. I'm wondering if maybe the printed names should have been ON the lines to the left and their signatures would be applied on the lines to the right. If so then maybe it was just an error in doc preparation?
In any case, this is the first time I've seen a form laid out like this and it is doubtful I will reach my client that early on a Saturday morning to ask. I did email them but haven't gotten a reply yet.
It's been a long time since I've consulted the NotRot forum, but I know there's a lot of experience and knowledge here so hopefully someone will be willing and able to help me out.
Thanks SO much in advance! |
