What is the responsibility of a Notary Signing Agent during a purchase loan signing?

The responsibility of a Notary Signing Agent during a purchase loan signing is to ensure smooth execution of loan documents. This role is crucial because the signing agent facilitates the process by verifying the identity of the signers, ensuring that all documents are correctly signed and dated, and that the required notarizations are completed. This involves providing clear instructions to the signers and ensuring that they understand what they are signing without giving any legal advice or influencing their decisions.

The signing agent must also ensure that the documents are returned properly and timely to the lender or title company, thereby contributing to a successful closing process. This focus on the correct execution of the documents helps to mitigate potential errors that could delay the closing or create issues in the loan process.
