Escrow won't close
I bought a piece of property that ended up having five brothers that had to sign off on it they wanted nothing to do with the house so they signed quitclaim deeds (notarized) and one brother who signed over a grant deed. When I went to sell the property the new buyer wanted to get title insurance and the Escrow Company AKA also the title company ) Did thier checks and said I would need a notarized uninsured deed paper for each of the quitclaim and the grant deed guy as well. I downloaded the forms and got the notarized signatures. The Escrow lady was furious said their own notaries were the only ones who could do it and each person would have to fill out a "Statement of Fact" statement of facts from each of the people that had signed the quit claims the problem with this is that three of them that absolutely want nothing to do with the property and don't want to be bothered and are mad as hell because basically they had signed off on it and considered it done, and then not only did they want them to resign with their own notary but to fill out the "statement of fact" which asked a lot of personal questions that nobody wants to give the answers to this day and age let alone on a property that you are having nothing to do with anymore. From what I understand every time the house sells this is going to happen at what point will they not ask it anymore and what happens when they refuse ? One of them told the escrow lady to go f off he wasn't giving her the information and she just informed me (as snooty possible ) as possible that she would not be able to close without it what do I do in this situation
