agencies was to only require that it be signed if there are two bwrs. We went round and round on this. That said, I have ALL bwrs , single and multiple ) sign the 1003 at the top, unless I receive specific instuctions not to. (never happened to date.) Most lenders and TCs instuct me to have it signed by single OR multiple bwrs. I have heard plenty of stories where NSA were regd to go out to have a single bwr sign the top. Hear of ONE instance (from PAW ) where he was regd to go back out because single bwr signed top. . The language was apparently written by a committe on strong medciation, and can easily be interpreted both ways. I think that it could be easily clarifed by adding something like " If there is only one borrower, do NOT sign here. " I believe that the safest practice is to have single bwrs sign top.
