@Steve Racicot  Notary does nothing for a PG and or a promissory note.. not necessary and gives no further protection for the lender.... it  is not common to notarize those two documents.you notarize the mortgage and record it.. that's what gives the investor their security.. the prom note is simply a prom to pay.. and establish's how much is owed if the lender has to foreclose and what the repayment terms are.. this is all very simple stuff a 10 minute visit with a closing attorney there in Il will get this done.. and out our way we would simply go to  a title company and they would prep the docs for you

I pay them well for this service, but I need it more than the luxury homeowner  with the fat untapped credit card balance down the street whose furnace also conked out on the same day.You need people who will be there for you instead of people who want you to slot you in when it's best for them.
