Attorney did not sign deed at closing.

Asked Dec 13, 2007, 05:09 PM — 1 Answer
Sold a home 2 1/2 years ago and the attorney just called and said he did not sign deed. The house is now in foreclosure. What will happen since the deed is not signed by him. What are the ramifications since it was never signed by him?

First what was the attorney signing the deed, just that he wrote it, the deed would list the new owner of the property and so on, and recorded at the court house. The deed not being signed has no bearing on the mortgage, and the foreclousure is an issue of the mortgage. So the only thing this may effect is that the new buyer will need to get the deed cleared before they can sell.

Does not help your foreclosure issue.
