I got the fax OK - and as it appears you are in Texas I forwarded it to Brenda for her input.
But- my two cents:
As you notice the first page needs filling out by the borrower, they are swearing that they are over the age of 18, that their marital status has not changed since they aquired the property (and they need to fill in the property address there), and that they have been known by the following names (basically an AKA statement),then #4 is that they are stating that all bills for labor performed and material furnished for any improvements have been paid - and they add on those lines any exceptions - if none they should state so, so there are no blank lines. Same with item 5, they are saying there are no loans or unpaid debts etc - and they need to fill in the blank lines.
Then on page 2, itme 6 is that all taxes up to and including the year (and they need to insert the year) have been paid in full, and they release ??? (agent? - need to find that info from the company, so there is no blank space) from further responsibility etc.
They sign it and you will fill out that notary certificate.
Page 3 is an individual acknowledgment (alhough it has the jurat wording), and a corporate acknowledgment.
Just ignore those, you will already have notarized the document on page 2.
Brenda - do you concur???

Sylvia, Yes I do, with one exception. You and I concur, but the title company might not. I would only use one jurat for both borrowers, however I just did one of this identical form from same lender/TC I bet. TC had put flags on the notary certs - the jurat on page 2 and the page 3 jurat incorrectly called an ack.
They sent it directly to borrower post signing appointment with a letter that said it had not been completed at the signing appointment. Plus also another two docs. That's not true. We all three remembered them...they had copies.
A few days before they had sent them a General Warranty Deed and said the same thing.
The GWD had NOT been sent before. I would have definitely remembered it. They offered to pay for them to get a notary for the last job.
I found it very interesting they did not ask me to fix it directly. But, actually, I had recently stopped accepting assignments from them via fax to them, but I figure if they really thought it was my mistake they would have sent it to me and said FIX.
I won't publish who the combo of the two are but I don't take the jobs any more because they cancelled 7 of 9 in two months and one of two I did caused me to go back 2 times. I could have refused but I was darned curious. I went because it was close and I liked the borrowers...they were young kiddos....I am a sucker.

If they wanted both certificates filled out, I would fill one out for each borrower - would not put two notarizations on a document for same signers, but one for each I would do.
Becca When I get those Chase docs with the two notary certs on, I fill out one for each borrower (don't forget that will count as two notary fees for the SE tax exemption)

Good point. I never thought to do that.

SYLVIA - Question re: note to Becca
You said "When I get those Chase docs with the two notary certs on, I fill out one for each borrower (don't forget that will count as two notary fees for the SE tax exemption)"
Since you follow FL law and I'm in CA maybe that is what is confusing me. I would put both names on one - even though the form would only contain one notary seal you are still notarizing 2 signatures. The names are entered into my journal (one name per journal line per document) - that would be 2 fees.

Re: SYLVIA - Question re: note to Becca
In Florida we can only charge $10 per notarization, no matter how many signers are on the certificate. I know in California you can charge per signature
So, if there are two notary certificates on the document, I will fill one out for each signer - so two notarizations at $10 each instead of one.
Does this "unconfuse" you?

Thank you Sylvia - no, you didn't confuse me... if I were in FL I'd do the same as you :-)

When you said that would be 2 fees. Do you get the same fee x 2 or do you just get one fee at the regular rate and then a lowered fee? The reason I asked is a ss asked me to do a loan signing and the seller would be there and I would need to do the contract. She gave me my regular fee for the loan and a reduced fee for the seller portion of the notary. Did I get flim flamed?

Re: SYLVIA - Question re: note to Becca
Reginald,
It's up to the notary what to charge (in CA you can charge any amount UP To $10 per signature). Personally, I charge $10 per signature, but I give a 10% discount to Seniors and Military.
If you were comfortable with the fee at the time, then you're ok. If you are 2nd guessing yourself, then perhaps the next time you can negotiate a bit more. JMO.

Your right I am second guessing myself. I think I should have asked for more and I think I could have gotten it.

Ahh, kinda like a chase cert. Two (or thee, as with this case) on one page, yada yada, yada.
But, just a three page borrowers aff? You can tell when a Title Co. is owned by an atty.

Funny thing about this document The ones I get and the one MaryBelle had both had mis-numbered pages.
Page 1 of 3 Page 1 of 3 Page 1 of 3
There was a Jurat Title with Jurat wording - really p2 An Ack Title with Jurat wording - really p3 An Ack for Corporate with Ack wording. really p3

Gee, that's news to me.

Don't forget to let us know
I've not seen this either. I'm curious to know, why three Notarizations for one doc?
Sounds like a "catch all" form drawn up by an attorney.
Please let us know, ladies.
Thank you
