By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
My advise is NOT to purchase the form. I have never seen it and cannot tell you that it is prepared correctly or that the closing agent who is handling the closing will accept the format. Instead, ask the closing agent who will handling the closing to prepare one for you to execute. That way, you will be sure that it will be in the proper format and that the closing agent will accept it. Be sure to have it signed in the presence of two (2) witnesses and a notary public or it will NOT be valid.
