Sorry I didn't mention it at the beginning... The whole thing is happening in California.

@Daniel Hans if your lender insists on using  a particular title company why did the docs go anyplace else?

If the lender simply sent them to you or your lawyer to review, then simply resign at the chosen title company. They should have been there ready to sign when you showed up.  Why didn't you just sign the new copies at the title company and destroy the first set you had?

 I just want to analyze the whole issue from a legal standpoint. Is the title company's demand to get the docs "re-signed" legal?

Hello,

I got the loan docs notarized in my lawyer's office but the title company refuses to accept them as they only work with notaries they've selected themselves. What should I do? 

 what is the lender doing sending closing docs to an attorney that's carzy the lender is bozo.. they should ONLY go to who ever is extending title insurance..  now many attorneys write title insurance and have that practice but one who is not an agent for a title insurer should have known better and so had your lender.

 The lender did not send the docs to an attorney. I got them reviewed by the real estate attorney I've been working with for years. I got these docs notarized by the notary who works for my lawyer's company...

The lender claims this is the only the title company  that provides the suitable title insurance policy 

My lender insists on working with the current title company. I am afraid I don't have any choice.

Hello,

I am interested in the options I have in case of mail-away closing (California only).

Yes, I am deeply concerned with the highly inflated price that the title company would like me to pay for their notary service and what is even more frustrating, they strongly insist on using their notary. Don't know if it depends on the title company... I just wanted to know if there is any legal basis behind their requirement

Is it possible that a borrower picks a notary himself?  Are there any laws in CA that prohibit such practice?
