At New Venture Escrow, the only documents that need to be signed with a notary are the Grant Deed and Loan Documents. Everything else can be signed digitally through our e-sign platform, VentureSign. As of today, Notary services are still considered essential business and signings are continuing to happen at the discretion of all parties involved. In efforts to continue to provide the best closing experience for our clients, we have a Notary Coordinator with a database of thousands of notaries throughout the county, willing and able to work. We are taking the following safety precautions for every notarized signing:
– Requesting all Notaries wear masks and gloves
– Sanitizing the thumb ink pad before each use
– Limiting attendees for each closing to only those who need to be there
– Providing hand sanitizer at the signing site
– Disinfecting the area between signings
– Providing new and separate pens to each individual for each closing
– In any case that a client is ill, we can always work with them and make alternative arrangements
The health and safety of the client and everyone involved is our number one priority and we will ensure this by customizing the notary experience with every signing.
