Ask your bank (lender). You could probably sign a document allowing someone else to sign papers in your name but make sure it's legal and that it specifies what documents exactly that person is allowed to sign for you. |

You can sign out of state. I was in New Mexico when I bought my first house becuase the closing got pushed back, and I'm from WA state....so they overnighted the docs there, I signed, and they overnighted 'em back. |

All the advice given here is right on the button - however unless you are leaving the country for a period of time - could you not make arrangements to travel back to your solicitors on the day you need to sign? If you really want the property then surely it's a small sacrifice to make to secure it? Alternatively could your solicitor not make arrangements for the documents to be signed immediately after you come back - perhaps approaching the seller for agreement to this might be an idea? |

If you head out, have the documents sent to a notary who will have you sign them, they will notorize them and they will send them beck to escrow... |

YOu can have POA (Power of Attorney) on your behalf - I would suggest someone you know and can trust. This will be a LIMITED POA for this transaction only. Call your mortgage broker / Lender and let them know you will be leaving the state and they will let you know if you can use a Attorney to draw up the POA or use the Title Company to draw up the POA for you to sign. But please read the POA carefully, since you are giving someone else to make decisions on your behalf on this transaction ONLY.....Make sure it is a limited POA for this transaction ONLY...... |

Talk to your realtor. They can get you a Power of Attorney which will be good for the closing on the house only. It can't be used for anything else. So, you don't need to be there. |

If you have to really leave town you can get what is called a Power of Attorney and elect someone you trust to sign the docs for you in your absence. |

Unless you want to go thru all the trouble of hiring a lawyer to write up a power of attorney, stick around. You HAVE to be present to sign mortgage documents, since the closer is a notary, and the documents must be notorized. Call your lender and bug them about it. Tell them you will be out of town and ask them to give you an idea of how much longer this whole thing will take. |

I would think both of you are going to have to be there. In the past I was out of town, and they faxed me the documents. I think, however, some are more important than others, like the purchase agreement, and you may have to be there in person for those. |

you can either do a power of attorney,or a mail away closing, both of those are usually accepted by lenders and usually cost around $250 |

You can appoint someone as your power of attorney but you need to see a lawyer about this. Your power of attorney can sign the documents in your absence. I had to do that.
That person could either be a trusted relative, your bank manager or even your lawyer. I chose my mother. |

I assume you're waiting for your formal mortgage offer after having a survey done. You will need to sign the mortgage offer once it comes through, or otherwise the solicitor won't be able to exchange contracts. I don't know if there is any way round this - you'll have to talk to your solicitor and possibly the bank. |
