Option 1

Power of Attorney: Prior to closing, the client will sign a Power of Attorney (“POA”) document appointing and authorizing an attorney to sign documents at closing on behalf of the client. That attorney can be either Todd Ewing of Federal Title & Escrow Company or Andrew Lawrence, an independent DC solo practitioner, depending on lender preference or requirements.

Then at the scheduled closing date and time, an attorney from Federal Title will review, via a recorded video, the Closing Disclosure and loan documents with the client and explain the terms of the loan to confirm that each borrower understands them.

Upon completion, the client will be asked to acknowledge via DocuSign his or her understanding of the terms of the loan and confirmation that the POA can be used for closing. The attorney-in-fact POA will then sign the documents for the client at closing and immediately afterwards scan and email a complete set of the documents to the client via a secure email.

IMPORTANT: Please let your processor know immediately if you prefer this option so that the proper approval can be obtained in advance.

Option 2

For your closing we will dispatch a third-party mobile notary service provider, not a licensed Federal Title settlement agent or attorney. Mobile notaries can only notarize documents and should not be relied upon to explain closing documents.

Option 3

Remote Online Notarization: This option is primarily for all-cash purchases. The client only needs access to a device equipped with video camera and audio (e.g., smart phones, equipped PCs, tablets,etc.). We are highly experienced in conducting RON settlements, having completed over one thousand during the past five years.

Your closing will be conducted by a licensed Federal Title attorney.

Option 4

In-office Closing: All clients are required to wear a face mask and must follow social distancing guidelines. The closing package will be placed in a conference room with instructions on how to sign. An attorney will be assigned to the closing and will be available during the closing for questions that might arise. Agents are encouraged to join via video conference. Hand sanitizer and a new pen will be provided at closing. Once closing is complete, the client will leave the closing package in the conference room. After closing a complete scan of the closing will be sent to the client.
