New signing agent here - I have a question regarding the name/AKA affidavits. Some of the closing packages I have done so far have a “Name Affidavit” that lists out possible names that the borrower/signer may have been known by, but there is only one line for them to sign at the bottom, instead of a signature line by each possible alias. If the borrower states that there are names on the document which they have never used, how should that be handled? My instinct is to have them cross out the names that don’t apply and initial the cross-out, but I am not sure. I asked one of the signing services to clarify and their response was to send me a “job aid” that explained how to complete the one that has the signature lines by each alias, so that was not really any help. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
I have 'em put a single line thru incorrect name & add ‘never known as’ (no initials). So far, so good.
Thanks for your help!
agreed, same thing. make sure they put never know as and you should be good.
