It all depends on the lender. B of A doesn't care how the borrower's signature looks just as long as the squiggle they put down is consistently made. They have accepted a signature that looked like three fish hooks and a loan package where the wife signed in Japanese characters.
A borrower told me that previously, his lender made him resign his entire loan package because he signed his usual signature of "John Jones" (not real name) while the loan papers said "John Paul Jones".
I had one borrower whose signature looked like a tumbleweed. His name on the loan documents was first name, middle initial, last name. He decided to embed his middle initial into the "tumbleweed" to make sure that the lender would accept it.
I met with a Russian woman whose legal name was Irina, but she said her lender allowed her to sign her name as "Irene". |
