Under the Patriot Act, it
is required that you bring a government issued photo ID – usually a driver’s
license. You will also need to bring the
funds the settlement attorney’s office has told you that you need to bring. The funds must be wired to the settlement
attorney’s office in advance of closing, or you may bring a cashier’s check
from a local bank. If anyone is signing
by a power of attorney, the original will also be required. That document will be kept by the settlement
attorney in order to be recorded in the record books at the courthouse. It will be returned to you after it has been
recorded.
