Can a family member sign for me at closing?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, through a power of attorney arranged with the title company, so the person you choose can sign the closing documents in your name. Tell us as soon as you reserve so the title company can prepare it along with the rest of your file. Many buyers find it simpler to sign themselves: signing can be done in person at the title company or through a remote online notary from wherever you are. Either way, the Warranty Deed is recorded in your name, not in the name of the person who signs for you.
