Re: one more signing experience
Hi all,
Had a signing several weeks ago. We were assembled at the dining room table. I was at the end of the table; husband was sitting to my left, and his wife was sitting to his left, holding a small child in her lap. All three of us had pens we were using in the signing. Was passing various documents to the husband and wife which were signed (and some notarized) and then the wife was stacking them up on the table to her left.
About half way through the process not sure exactly what I was doing, probably looking down at the next document to come. But I look up and look down the table and apparently this small child had grabbed his mother's pen sitting on the table and scribbled all over one of the documents!! The bad news was that it was the notarization page of the mortgage. The good news was that it was the backside of the page.
So I try to assess and I suppose rationalize the situation. Heh, it is the back of the page and not the front of the page. But on the other hand it is the notarization page of the mortgage!! But finally I decided to just borrow the borrowers' copy of this page and substitute it.
So I guess the borrowers have been left with tangible evidence of their son's direct involvement in their whole equity line of credit process.

Re: one more signing experience
This is the precise reason I hand one document, at a time, to the lst borrower they hand it to the 2nd & I reach for it when it is signed by number 2 borrower. I then place it face down in a stack next to the unsigned docs for "safe keeping".
I had one child that "scribbled" on the docs while the mother was signing her name. Where the pen came from that the child had is a mystery to me. Luckily they were edocs & the borrower's copy was used to replace the page.
