Okay, I Am Having My First Real Issue

Signing set for sometime today (long story on why it is not a set time) just waiting for docs to arrive. Well Fed Ex usually arrives by 1 p.m. at the latest. It is now 2:30 and no docs. Lender tracked the package and it says due to arrive at 4:30. In my little town I have never heard (nor seen) of Fed Ex being here that late (very rural area). Borrower now says that if signing doesn't happen by 5 p.m. she wants to do it a different day. So the lender asks if I will be available tomorrow.

Well there are two problems with that. First is that if docs do not arrive today (which I believe is going to be the case), we have no Saturday service. So you can't sign what you don't have.

But 2nd problem is the one that concerns me. If they do (by some miracle) arrive today and borrower can't sign, then wouldn't it be wrong to do signing tomorrow because they are dated today? Isn't that what back dating is?

Can someone please clarify this for me?

I don't mean to ramble, but I am a little frustrated at this point. I have literally been in a dress/nylons in the 100+ degree heat waiting to rush out the door (was trying to get them done so they could ship back out today as we have no Saturday service) for the last 3+ hours.


*Update at 2:52 p.m. lender says let's go ahead and cancel for today and try for tomorrow or Sunday.* So I could use some clarification if anybody actually understood what I was trying to ask (I am taking Tylenol as I type and quite possibly I am not making sense).

As always, thank you all very much. You are such a knowledgeable group of wonderful people!

Don't stress.

If you get them... I can't help with that problem... just sign them tomorrow with TOMORROW'S date. Make sure the RTC dates are corrected and you are good to go.

No backdating involved... the docs will have today's (or yesterday's) date and they will sign and date with the actual date of whenever they sign. It is all very legal and what I love about docs that are not date-sensitive!

I hope I am not confusing you... Sylvia... do you want to insert your 20 words or less miracle answer here?

Re: Do it.

Thank you all very much. I can't wait until the day that I don't have to ask these questions. But until then I do appreciate you all! Have a wonderful weekend!

Yeah, but ...

... the word is spelled "okay".

OK is a quintessentially American term that has spread from English to many other languages. Its origin was the subject of scholarly debate for many years until Allen Walker Read showed that OK is based on a joke of sorts. OK is first recorded in 1839 but was probably in circulation before that date. During the 1830s there was a humoristic fashion in Boston newspapers to reduce a phrase to initials and supply an explanation in parentheses. Sometimes the abbreviations were misspelled to add to the humor. OK was used in March 1839 as an abbreviation for all correct, the joke being that neither the O nor the K was correct. Originally spelled with periods, this term outlived most similar abbreviations owing to its use in President Martin Van Buren's 1840 campaign for reelection. Because he was born in Kinderhook, New York, Van Buren was nicknamed Old Kinderhook, and the abbreviation proved eminently suitable for political slogans. That same year, an editorial referring to the receipt of a pin with the slogan O.K. had this comment: “frightful letters... significant of the birth-place of Martin Van Buren, old Kinderhook, as also the rallying word of the Democracy of the late election, ‘all correct’.... Those who wear them should bear in mind that it will require their most strenuous exertions... to make all things O.K.”
