My series under “Escrow From the Trenches” are “war stories” about things that happen in the escrow world. On some days it is like deflecting and dodging mortar fire while trying to juggle Buyer, Sellers and Lenders, all who have their own agenda and going in different directions.
This is part 5 of this never ending drama. We need a new Deed signed! But the Seller went out of town! Who can sign for him?
Part 1 was all about “No Escrow Instructions, No Work!”
Part 2 was about “Blue Ink versus Black Ink”
Part 3 was about trying to get the original Deed from the Seller.
Part 4 we were left wondering, “Did the Seller send us an original Deed? Or was it a copy?”
