E-notary companies are out there….can we close a sale with one now?
There still needs to be at least one personal interaction with a stranger to be able to finance the purchase of a house in San Diego County, says the boss at First American Title today:
Good morning – sorry, the county recorders are still not accepting a document notarized remotely. The county still requires wet signatures and original notary seal.
Cash buyers wouldn’t need a signature notarized if purchasing as individuals, and not in a trust.
We are planning on donning gloves and sliding docs back and forth on a skateboard to a mobile notary six feet away!
Creative!
We have a refi signing coming up. Any idea if an e-notary would work?
An e-notary will not work for refinances.
You need a regular live notary to witness your signature on the trust deed, and stamp it with their seal.
(in SD County for sure, and probably other counties around here too – they tend to be uniform)
