Covid 19 Precautions:
Mindful Signings and Notary is 100% dedicated to providing a safe experience for all parties involved. Covid-19 safety precautions will be provided to ensure a safe and worry-free experience during each appointment. The first step to a safe signing is agreeing to a safe space for the signing to take place. The signing agent must witness the signer(s) as they sign all documents. While maintaining social distancing guidelines, the signing agent will retrieve the signed documents and complete the notarization process at a safe distance. It’s very important to note that both the signing agent and signer must be able to hear and see each other while the signing is occurring while maintaining the social distancing guideline of staying 6 feet apart at any given time.
Split signings and curbside signings are offered.
Note: There is a separate fee for each appointment.
Curbside Signings
This is where the signing agent and borrower agree to park their vehicles in a large driveway, neighborhood street, or empty parking lot to perform the signing. When a document hand-off takes place, the documents can be placed between the two vehicles by the distributing party. The retrieving party then waits until the distributing party re-enters their vehicle before retrieving the documents.
Split signings
A split signing is when loan documents need to be signed by multiple borrowers, such as partners or spouses, but only one of the borrowers is available at one time. In such situations, settlement services often arrange for two signing agents to process the loan documents during separate signing appointments, or for the same NSA to handle both at different times.
If there are two NSAs handling a split signing, the first NSA in the chain receives the loan documents, conducts the signing and witnesses the signature of only the borrower who comes in person and presents identification. Then, depending on what the instructions say, they ship the documents back to the contracting agency or to the next Notary in the chain. The second NSA oversees the signing of the second borrower and then returns the documents to the contracting company
