How Does Remote Closing Work - Peter Zinkovetsky

BSPE Legal Marketing Podcast

From Avenue Law Firm - Remote closings are transforming the way real estate transactions are conducted, offering an innovative and efficient alternative to traditional processes. In our latest podcast, we explore the key insights from the article How Does Remote Closing Work, delving into the growing popularity of virtual closings in New York. Remote closings leverage digital platforms and electronic signatures to streamline property transactions, allowing buyers, sellers, and attorneys to complete deals from anywhere. This approach has become especially relevant in the post-pandemic world, where convenience and flexibility are highly valued.
We discuss the legal framework surrounding remote real estate closings in New York, highlighting important developments such as the adoption of Remote Online Notarization (RON) under Senate Bill 1780C. This legislation, effective as of June 2022, enables notaries to witness signatures via live video calls while ensuring compliance with state regulations. By understanding the requirements for secure platforms, identity proofing, and document integrity, buyers and sellers can navigate the process with confidence and ensure that their transactions meet all legal standards.
The podcast also addresses the various methods of remote closings, including the Hybrid Closing Method, Remote Online Notarization, and In-Person E-Notarization. Each approach offers unique benefits depending on the needs of the parties involved. From the ability to review documents at your own pace to the convenience of completing transactions across different locations, remote closings are reshaping the real estate landscape. However, challenges such as technology reliance and the potential for fraud underscore the importance of proper guidance and secure practices.
Finally, we highlight how Avenue Law Firm can assist with remote closings in New York.
