Before the appointment, confirm the office, date, signers, identification and final funds required with your settlement team. Review the available closing paperwork and ask questions before signing.
At signing, the team coordinates execution of the applicable documents. A financed transaction generally includes lender documents as well as the documents needed for the property transfer. Ask which copies you will receive and how they will be delivered.
For Virginia property, recordable documents are submitted through the circuit court clerk’s land records for the jurisdiction where the property is located. Ask when funding, recording and disbursement are expected for your file. Signing alone does not determine possession or completion.
