How is a Loan Signing Agent different from a Notary?
You have two different jobs when you act as a Loan signing agent. You are a notary first in the fact that you have to correctly fill in and sign all that needs your stamp and signature, such as the deed of trust, note, identity certificate, and so on. You are a signing agent,(closer), second. First not only do you have to make sure all initials and all the signatures of the affiant(s) are correct but that they are on every document sheet that requires it. Second you must also make sure all is correct with their information such as the spelling of their name,DL number, their correct social, (if need be), the correct date for their closing and more. You do not have to read the entire document package, only the areas with their name and contact information.
