Rick, I appreciate the link to the NNA article quoting a SS owner and a signing agent. I also appreciate the posts of other notaries opinions on the subject. Could you please provide a link to a regulatory bodies opinion on the subject so I could forward that to the lenders and title companies I work for. I don't think they will change their way of doing business because some signing agents say it is wrong.
As for doing it the way it is requested of me, I certainly will, as they are not requesting an illegal act as you seem to imply they are by comparing it to backdating. It is no different a request then if they asked for the DOT to be witnessed when it is not a requirement for that particular state.
I look forward to a link from a regulatory body showing that it is against whatever regulation so I can forward it on to the people who really count. The lenders and TC's. |
