Virtual Closing comfortable and safe?
When you do million dollars deals and closing is done virtually (which one side picked as part of their terms and that firm normally does their closing online) how comfortable are you? I may be paranoid but it really feels safer to me to see buyer / seller in front of me with the attorney in charge, for some bizarre reason, when a person who had an online $100 or less class to become a public notary has the seller / buyer sign legal documents, I don't feel it's a safe way of verifying their identity and generally speaking I feel conducting these large deals with a table closing when all parties are present is way better.. or at least choose an agreed third party to verify identity of all parties (like a different law firm) is that just me being paranoid or is it a legitimate scare? what is your opinion?

LOVE your tips. especially "use “forward” instead of “reply.” This lowers your chance of accidentally replying to a cybercriminal that sent you a spoofed email." good one!
Will defiantly use some of those, although most parties (who got used to the remote/ virtual way) will mostly use emails...I hope the SAFE protocol will catch up with the need. I do not feel it has yet.
Again, thank you for that. I think these are most useful tools and tips for us all.
