On April 22, 2013 there were still two missing assent forms. After completing preparations for the closing as described in the article Selling the Estate Rental Property: Prepare for the Closing, there wasn’t much for me to do other than wait for the assent forms to arrive. So, that same day, after the fire inspection, I called the attorney.
Initially, the call was to inform the attorney that the house passed inspection. Then the conversation shifted to mailing the certificate to the attorney for the closing.
After that conversation, I curiously asked, “Have all the assent forms arrived?”
The attorney replied, “No, there are still two missing assent forms. The belligerent beneficiary and one other beneficiary haven’t sent them yet.”
Then the attorney asked,”Can you try to get them to send the forms by tomorrow? Otherwise we’ll have to change the closing date.”
Puzzled, I replied, “I will try.”
After the call, I put the fire inspection certificate in the mail to the attorney. Then, began chasing down the two missing assent forms.
