Refinance Georgia Property from out of state

[Ankit Garg]

Hi All,

I am in the process of refinancing my investment property in Powder Springs. I am out of state (based in california) and my closing attorney is saying that I need to go into a local attorney's office where I live and sign the closing documents in front of an attorney and public notary. I was told it is a requirement as per Georgia Law.

Can someone shed some light if this is really a requirement? 

Thanks

Thanks @Matthew Travers. Small world haan!! Congrats on closing a home in GA.

I don't know why my closing company is forcing me to sign in attorney's office. I have asked them to point me to the law which requires it.
