On May 6, 2013, a few days away from closing, where to have the closing became an issue. Typically, a closing would happen at the registry of deeds where recording the new deed would take place. So, after talking to my attorney, that’s where we thought the closing would take place. However, the realtor called me soon after and told me the closing would happen at the office of the buyer’s attorney. Immediately, I told my attorney of the mix up. So, my attorney called the buyer’s attorney to clear the confusion. After the discussion, both attorney’s agreed to have the closing at the office of the buyer’s attorney because of convenience.
With the issue of location resolved, my attorney called to tell me about the resolution. However, I was still curious about the last missing assent form mentioned in the article Selling the Rental Estate Property: The Missing Assent Forms. So, still on the phone, I asked my attorney, “Oh, did you receive the last assent form?”
“Yes, the form arrived a couple of days ago.” my attorney replied.
“Well, that’s a few days later than promised by the belligerent beneficiary, but at least we can finally close.”
