If during the signing appointment the borrower divulges that the property being financed is an investment property, while the loan papers indicate it is for a primary residence, the Notary Signing Agent should:

contact the lender's representative immediately before signing the documents.

Explanation:

The above is an example of Actual or Potential misrepresentation which falls under Code of Conduct 5.10. Once a notary signing agent notices that during the signing appointment, the information provided by the borrower differs from what is on the loan document, he should immediately report such false misrepresentation (potential or actual misrepresentation or falsehood known) witnessed by the NSA in connection with a transaction to the representative of the NSA.

By contacting the lender's representative, the purpose for obtaining the loan will be confirmed whether the property being financed is an investment property or for a primary residency otherwise the notary signing agent will be held responsible for any infraction if his signature is appended because he is expected to verify the authenticity of the information provided.
