Start with location and timing.
Tell Trinity where each signer expects to be and the intended closing date. Avoid arranging a notary or signing appointment before the closing team confirms the requirements.
Understand the possible arrangements.
Discuss whether the file can use an in-person appointment, a coordinated mobile signing or an eligible online notarization workflow. Not every document or transaction can be completed remotely.
Confirm the requirements before the appointment.
Identification, technology, witnesses where needed and document acceptance must be addressed for the chosen method. Availability and the exact workflow are confirmed for the individual file.
