I like the statement" Does your signature match the way the documents are printed on the signature line?" and if yes, so be it.... then if they contest it, I will tell them that is the way they see it, signed it, and they said it matches DL. I will not tell them how to do their signature if they say it matches moving forward.
If it is obvious cursive signature where they can clearly add a middle name or initial, then of course. Chicken Scratch or symbol will remain just that....leave it up to the interpreter.
I didn't feel I was in the wrong, and SS seemed annoyed with me when I tried to defend the package, so I think that statement makes the most sense moving forward.
The lender is always right, and I went and resigned it, but felt stupid after I made a "big deal" over how they signed when started. This has never happened in 13 years. There were no instructions in signing in package, but pretty much rule of thumb, "sign the way you see it" I have never seen them say to use your "Signature" even though we cant read it.
I had one buyer a few years back who changed his signature every year to add a bible verse behind it. He said he could tell then at a glance what year he signed and unique to him, WTH?? Would they want that? I refused that one as well... Seems like should be a cut and dry standard for this. DL signature as legal signature for legal papers regardless of how it is printed, and then add the signature name affidavit in the package to cover the variations, and then he can sign them out out of signature the different variations. |
