Do these need to be notarized or filed with county?

If not are you panning to get it?

By definition, people who deal with politics (Ordinary people or not) are politician.

Those need to be notarized, so you have them notarized and fedex them overnight service.Escrow compamnies do it all the time, so they won't even turn an eyelash.I wouldn't bother to have any of the offers and counter offers notarized.

I completed the QCD and had it notarized the day after I bought the property.

In the beginning of the process have them sign and notarize a document that no fees will be required or called for with payment until the actual closing.I can tell you there are huge scammers in commercial real estate.From my understanding some Hedge funds are not controlled by the SEC and have been known to steal funds and take upfront diligence fees.The number one thing I can tell you is NO UPFRONT FEES.Ingrain that in your head.As Ibrahim says they will lead you all the way up until closing and then say there has been a delay and they need a small upfront fee.They talk to you all the time and when the money is finally given they do not answer the call and are having problems funding the loan.

., the money isn't going to be sitting there when you get back as it turns out that borrowing several hundred thousand dollars requires active participation on your part and you will realistically only be able to e-sign things while away, but you could/should be able to submit the basic paperwork, do a 60 or 90 day rate lock to get the BREXIT interest rate pricing that's still present but could go away at any time, go on your trip prepared to e-sign things from your laptop, designate someone other than yourself to host the appraisal (can't be your loan originator; rules), come back to a conditional loan approval waiting for you (it'll have things that require more than just e-signing), fulfill conditions, sign loan docs (signing that 100+ pages must be in person, notarized, and ink-signatures), fund loan, go on your merry way. 

You can always see if their bank will do a signature guarantee or notarize their signature but I prefer to meet the people in person and  and have a legally binding contract with both signatures, signed in my presence.   

I feel like I should get him and his wife to sign something and get it notarized before I change the contract.

Originally posted by Account Closed: Who might have a claim against the property that's not recorded anywhere.I'm not an attorney so I can't quote case law, but I can imagine there are a few cases where someone or entity believes they have sufficient notarized documentation that either wasn't recorded, or wasn't recorded correctly.
