Hello,
Is it necessary to leave a second copy with the signer? I have done a few jobs requesting I leave a second copy with the signer and I have done other jobs not required. Can anyone confirm please?
Typically, title/escrow/lender/signing service dictates if a second set of docs is necessary and, in my experience, they almost always demand that a second set be provided to the borrowers. You’d better read all the instructions on your orders carefully.
It’s my understanding that most lenders require you to leave a copy with the signers. Always refer to the signing instructions for each assigment.
It’s an excellent business practice to always thoroughly review the Signing Order instructions to ensure you’re honoring the stipulations for your client.
As noted above, normally the lenders, title/escrow companies [T/ECs], signing services [SSs] will clearly indicate within their Signing Order instructions that a second set of documents is to be printed for the Borrowers [BOs].
Sometimes, they’ll even identify ‘full size’ and/or single-sided printing for the BOs copy as well.
Best Wishes
