For Joe Blow's loan, you could divide the $75 by 8 for the 8 notarizations, equaling $9.375/signature, just recording the total amount paid (i.e. $75). I don't believe you can record a negative number ($5.00) under signing agent fees to subtract against other appointments where you might have a higher fee, but fewer notarizations.
This is an issue where there seems to be lots of opinions and little consensus. |
