My duty and responsibility as a Signing Agent / Public Notary is to properly execute loan documents. I am hired by mortgage companies, escrow companies, title companies, and signing services to witness and notarize signatures and in some cases deliver the documents to the borrower. A signing agent is an impartial party to the transaction and must adhere to their state or jurisdiction notary laws. Signing agents are prohibited from giving legal advice or in any way explaining or interpreting the meaning of any terms or documents and can not prepare the documents or alter them in any way. Any advice, explanation, or opinion can be considered unauthorized practice of law.
