📚🏡 WORD OF THE WEEK: ESCROW

Escrow is a financial arrangement where documents, funds, or assets are held by a neutral third party until specific conditions are met.

Escrow is commonly used in real estate transactions to help protect all parties involved during the closing process.

✔️ Holds funds securely until requirements are completed
✔️ Helps manage important documents during a transaction
✔️ Provides a neutral process between buyers, sellers, and lenders
✔️ Helps ensure agreed-upon conditions are met before completion

💡 Simple: Escrow acts as a trusted holding arrangement that helps make important transactions smoother and more secure.

✨ Know your documents. Understand the process. Sign with confidence.

✍️💼 NOTARY TIP: PREPARE YOUR PAYMENT & FEES

Before your notarization appointment, take a moment to confirm the accepted payment methods and applicable fees. 💳

Notaries and mobile notaries may accept different forms of payment, and fees can vary depending on the service, travel, or location.

A quick check ahead of time can help you avoid surprises, prevent delays, and keep your appointment running smoothly. ✅

💡 A little preparation goes a long way! Confirm the cost and payment options before your appointment so you can arrive ready to sign with confidence.

⚖️✍️ NOTARY TIP

Notaries Don’t Give Legal Advice.

A notary’s role is to help ensure the proper ex*****on of a notarial act—not to interpret the law or provide legal guidance.

A notary can:

✔️ Verify the identity of the signer
✔️ Witness signatures when required
✔️ Administer oaths and affirmations
✔️ Complete authorized notarial certificates

A notary cannot:

❌ Provide legal advice
❌ Explain the legal meaning or consequences of a document
❌ Prepare legal documents unless legally authorized to do so

💡 Simple: A notary verifies the signing process—not the legal decisions behind the document.

If you need advice about your rights, obligations, or the meaning of a document, consult a qualified legal professional.

🏡🖋️ NOTARY WORD OF THE WEEK

CLOSING DISCLOSURE

A Closing Disclosure (CD) is a document that provides the final details of a mortgage loan, including the loan terms, projected monthly payments, closing costs, and other financial information related to a real estate transaction.

📄 Buyers typically receive the Closing Disclosure before closing so they can review the final loan information and costs.

💡 Notary Tip: A notary’s role is to properly perform the authorized notarial act. The notary does not explain loan terms or provide legal or financial advice about the transaction.

✨ Know your documents. Review the details. Sign with confidence.

🖋️📋 NOTARY TIP

No Blank Spaces Allowed! ⚠️

Before your notarization appointment, take a moment to review your document carefully. Blank sections may cause delays, require clarification, or result in the document needing to be completed and notarized again.

If a section does not apply, it may sometimes be appropriate to mark it “N/A”—but only when permitted and appropriate for that document.

✔️ Review every page
✔️ Complete required fields
✔️ Check names and dates
✔️ Don’t leave unauthorized blanks
✔️ Ask the appropriate professional if you’re unsure how to complete a section

💡 Notary Tip: A notary can help with the notarization process, but generally cannot tell you what information to put into your legal document.

✨ Come prepared. Save time. Make your signing smoother.
