NotaryCam Partners with Texas Mortgage Law Firm, RUTH RUHL, P.C., to Add RON to Firm’s Loss Mitigation Services

Using NotaryCam's RON platform, RUTH RUHL, P.C., will provide its clients with a secure eSign and eNotary process that improves efficiency while, most importantly, reduces the risk of fraud.

"RON is readily available with loan originations, but the concept of RON for loss mitigation is now coming to fruition," Ruth Ruhl, founder and president of RUTH RUHL, P.C., said. "I want RUTH RUHL, P.C., to be ahead of the curve and able to service my clients in a proactive manner. Partnering with NotaryCam provides a solution to my clients' time and money; it will all be paperless."

"One of the great things about RON is that we're finding new ways to use the technology every day," said NotaryCam Division President Rick Triola. "NotaryCam is honored to work with RUTH RUHL, P.C., to advance eSign and eNotarization education and implementation in the mortgage industry. All aspects of the mortgage industry stand to benefit from increased technology, and we are proud to be an innovator in bringing RON to the loss mitigation sector."

NotaryCam's platform also allows multiple parties to join the signing ceremony in person or from anywhere in the world and is supported by a robust, nationwide network of trained eNotaries available 24/7/365 to ensure a seamless, error-free notarization.

"Two of the factors that made this partnership with NotaryCam so attractive is the security of the platform and how it verifies the borrower's identity," continued Ruhl. "In my opinion, reducing the risk of fraud is key to my client's comfort level. The audio and video of the notary session, in my mind, helps to alleviate that risk. With NotaryCam, the notary is properly trained and understands the importance of the accuracy of both the borrower's signature and the electronic notary. Rick and I have the same commitment to our clients - excellence and customer service."

SimpleNexus applauds Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) for targeting federal Remote Online Notarization (RON) legislation as National Advocacy Conference priority

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading homeownership platform for loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents, today praised the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) for naming federal Remote Online Notarization (RON) legislation as a core issue of its National Advocacy Conference.

"Our industry has taken sweeping measures to provide mortgage consumers with the mobile and online home buying experience they prefer, but existing notarial laws impede the shift in technology," said SimpleNexus Founder and CEO Matt Hansen. "To date, only 32 states have passed RON-enabling legislation, hindering the housing finance industry's ability to provide a broad swath of American homebuyers with the safety and convenience of a remote online closing ceremony. SimpleNexus commends the Mortgage Bankers Association for leading the charge on this critical issue."

The MBA is coordinating with association partners and members to encourage Congress to reintroduce and enact The Securing and Enabling Commerce Using Remote Online Notarization Act (SECURE Notarization Act). Initially introduced with bipartisan sponsorship as Senate Bill 3533 in March 2020, the SECURE Notarization Act would permit immediate nationwide use of RON with minimum standards necessary to protect consumer data and provide certainty for the interstate recognition of RON. States with existing RON laws on the books would retain the flexibility to implement their own RON standards.

Each year, the MBA organizes housing finance stakeholders for its National Advocacy Conference to directly educate lawmakers about key industry policy priorities and hear directly from elected officials. This year's conference will be held virtually, May 11-12, 2021.

NotaryCam’s Expanded Remote Notarization Functionality Receives Honorable Mention In Pandemic Response Category for Fast Company’s 2021 World Changing Ideas Awards

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam®, a Stewart-owned company and a pioneering provider of remote online notarization and identity verification/authentication technology for real estate and legal transactions, announced today that its remote ink notarization (RIN) functionality and remote online notarization (RON) expansion has been included in the 2021 Fast Company World Changing Ideas Awards. NotaryCam's products garnered an honorable mention in the Pandemic Response category, highlighting the importance of remote notarization in 2020.

The winners of Fast Company's 2021 World Changing Ideas Awards were announced today, honoring the businesses, policies, projects, and concepts that are actively engaged and deeply committed to pursuing innovation when it comes to solving health and climate crises, social injustice, or economic inequality.

When COVID-19 hit, the demand for NotaryCam's services increased almost overnight by 300%. The increase forced NotaryCam to think outside the box to meet the demand of people who had to bypass the challenge of social distancing. The NotaryCam team created a new workflow process to accommodate the new demand so that NotaryCam's client's needs could continue to be met amidst the pandemic.

In response to restrictions imposed on in-person gatherings due to COVID-19, legislators across the U.S. passed temporary measures authorizing RON to ensure notarial activities, including real estate closings, could continue unimpeded. While NotaryCam was fully equipped to handle the increased demand for RON transactions, the company was also tasked with the development of its Concierge Service to accommodate RIN, which many states chose to authorize in lieu of RON in their emergency orders, to ensure home buyers and real estate professionals in every state could utilize the NotaryCam platform to complete their closing ceremony in accordance with their individual state's permanent and/or temporary authorization.

Now in its fifth year, the World Changing Ideas Awards showcase 33 winners, more than 400 finalists, and more than 800 honorable mentions-with Health and Wellness, AI & Data among the most popular categories. A panel of eminent Fast Company editors and reporters selected winners and finalists from a pool of more than 4,000 entries across transportation, education, food, politics, technology, and more. Plus, several new categories were added, including Pandemic Response, Urban Design, and Architecture. The 2021 awards feature entries from across the globe, from Brazil to Denmark to Vietnam.

Showcasing some of the world's most inventive entrepreneurs and companies tackling exigent global challenges, Fast Company's Summer 2021 issue (on newsstands May 10) highlights, among others, a lifesaving bassinet; the world's largest carbon sink, thanks to carbon-eating concrete; 3D-printed schools; an at-home COVID-19 testing kit; a mobile voting app; and the world's cleanest milk.

"With the onset of COVID-19, RON technology and NotaryCam played a critical role not just in moving the housing market forward, but also keeping it from grinding to a complete halt," said Rick Triola, division president of NotaryCam. "I am proud to be able to share this honor with the entire NotaryCam team, which worked quickly and tirelessly to develop and release a RIN product to help accommodate a greater majority of remote closing ceremonies in a socially-distanced world."

"There is no question our society and planet are facing deeply troubling times. So, it's important to recognize organizations that are using their ingenuity, impact, design, scalability, and passion to solve these problems," says Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. "Our journalists, under the leadership of senior editor Morgan Clendaniel, have discovered some of the most groundbreaking projects that have launched since the start of 2020."

About the World Changing Ideas Awards

World Changing Ideas is one of Fast Company's major annual awards programs and is focused on social good, seeking to elevate finished products and brave concepts that make the world better. A panel of judges from across sectors choose winners, finalists, and honorable mentions based on feasibility and the potential for impact.

In a RON eClosing, or full eClose, all documents are eSigned and electronically notarized by a commissioned remote online notary via webcam. SimpleNexus has partnered with market-leading, MISMO RON standard certified remote online notarization provider Notarize to debut RON in its eClose environment. In the future, SimpleNexus will partner with additional RON vendors.

"Remote online notarization is rewiring the closing experience for the digital era, making it simple, more efficient, and secure to close from anywhere, any time. In all market conditions, consumers are clamoring for the technology that streamlines closing, and Notarize is thrilled to be on the SimpleNexus eClose platform to close that 'last mile' of the transaction to make full eClosings a reality," said Pat Kinsel, Notarize Co-Founder and CEO.

With the addition of RON to SimpleNexus eClose, lenders can provide borrowers with a fully digital, single sign-on homebuying experience from application to closing. Currently, 32 U.S. states allow full eClosings in which all loan closing documents are eSigned and remotely notarized. RON bills have been introduced in several other states and at the Federal level.

"SimpleNexus is committed to delivering lenders with a one-stop platform that seamlessly guides borrowers throughout the entire homeownership journey," said SimpleNexus President Cathleen Schreiner Gates. "The added capability of RON, which enables full eClose, gives lenders and borrowers the choice to make closing as digital as they want. In addition to improved borrower experience, full eClose offers lenders substantial return on innovation with improved operational efficiency, greater data integrity and faster delivery of loans to the secondary market."

To date, SimpleNexus empowers 300 mortgage lenders to "do more," by connecting its 34,000 active LO users with more than 3 million borrowers and 141,000 real estate partners to produce 13 million mortgages totaling more than $3 trillion in volume.

NotaryCam Marks Significant Spike in Use of Remote Online Notarization for eWills in Second Half of 2020

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam®, the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced that it has seen a 10X-increase in the number of remote online notarization (RON) transactions the company has performed for electronic wills (eWills) thus far in 2020. The company attributes a significant portion of this increase to the passage of Florida's eWill legislation, which went into effect on July 1, 2020.

Since launching its eWill product in 2019, NotaryCam has enabled testators to create and notarize video eWills, advanced health directives, trusts, etc. without having to appear physically in person before a notary. NotaryCam engages two forms of identification and allows witnesses and/or attorneys to join the ceremony from anywhere. To ensure the wishes laid out in the eWill survive probate, NotaryCam added security measures including securely storing video recording the signing ceremony for a minimum of 10 years and tamper-sealing on the notarized document. Witnesses and/or attorneys can also join the ceremony from anywhere in the world.

"In today's world, eWills not only provide individuals a convenient and secure platform through which to create a will, but also the peace of mind knowing it can be easily accessed at any time from anywhere," said NotaryCam Founder and CEO Rick Triola. "For example, in a situation in which a living will or advanced care directive needs to be accessed, it provides comfort to the family to not only know their loved one's wishes, but to see them on video as those wishes were expressed."

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ability to create and notarize eWills has become more significant as well as more convenient as states issued emergency orders authorizing RON transactions. Although many states have recognized the legality of eWills for years, RON now allows individuals/testators to remotely execute these documents with or without their attorneys having to appear physically in the same room. Thus, allowing eWills or any estate planning documents to be remotely notarized, eliminates several barriers that might otherwise prevent individuals from engaging in advanced care/estate planning. Additionally, the emergency legislation surrounding RON allows NotaryCam to add security and identity proofing, adding both long-term defensible evidence and peace of mind to eWill transactions.

For Florida-based estate planning firm and NotaryCam client de Jesus Law Group, LLC, the ability to electronically execute wills and other estate planning documents was key to maintaining its operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Our previous process involved a lot of manual work with paper and physically mailing documents. Because of COVID, our firm went completely virtual, and we had to find a new way to get our signings done. When we looked into eWills, NotaryCam immediately stood out as the only electronic notary platform that could perform eWill transactions in Florida currently," said the firm's co-founder Irene de Jesus. "After our first eWill transaction with NotaryCam, I was already comfortable with the process and immediately saw how this process will save us a lot of time and resources."

According to de Jesus, one of the added benefits is that NotaryCam also provides witnesses to the transaction, thus eliminating the need for her clients to do so This not only streamlines the transaction by reducing the number of parties involved in scheduling, but it also reduces the overall cost to the testator. For de Jesus, NotaryCam's streamlined, cost-conscious approach to RON for estate planning made the difference in putting eWills within her firm's financial reach and has fundamentally changed how her firm plans to handled signings beyond the pandemic.

"We've just started to realize the cost savings over our previous process, but I can tell you that based on what we've seen so far, I'm not changing how we're doing this once COVID is done," she added."

NotaryCam CEO Rick Triola Praises ALTA, MBA and NAR for Issuing Model RON Executive Order

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R) Founder and CEO Rick Triola today hailed the efforts of the American Land Title Association (ALTA), Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) and National Association of Realtors (NAR) to provide guidance and standardization for states seeking to temporarily authorize the use of remote online notarization (RON) for real estate closings. To date, all but seven states have some form of RON legislation or executive order in effect.

"NotaryCam has observed first-hand for some time the simplicity, security and convenience RON brings to the real estate closing ceremony, and while we wish the circumstances surrounding this joint effort were quite different, we applaud these trade groups for banding together to provide states with the necessary language to fortify the legal underpinnings of remotely executed notarial acts and provide real estate professionals with a measure of standardization regarding the particulars of these orders," Triola said.

"Prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, only 22 states had passed RON legislation, and even fewer had those laws in effect at that time. Thus, the majority of states had to pass temporary executive orders to allow the notarial act to be completed remotely in some form or fashion, many of which only authorized remote ink notarization (RIN) rather than RON," Triola continued. "While RIN provided a necessary stopgap early on, it is not a scalable or sustainable solution, particularly for real estate transactions. With COVID-19 cases continuing to rise and a vaccine still a distant possibility, states would be well advised to extend and expand their current orders to make RON the de facto method of document notarization for the near future."

The MBA has developed a RON Resource Center, which includes the model executive order as well as a sample letter for governors explaining the benefits of RON and an FAQ on the model state executive order.

IDS Applauds Mortgage, Real Estate Industry Trade Groups for Their Development of Draft Model Remote Online Notarization Executive Order

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- IDS Vice President and General Manager Mark Mackey today commended the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), American Land Title Association (ALTA) and National Association of Realtors (NAR) for the groups' development of a draft model remote online notarization (RON) executive order to bring consistency to the various temporary measures non-RON-approved states have issued as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The challenges of conducting in-person real estate closings during the pandemic have certainly highlighted the need for a legal, remote option for document notarization, and while states have done their best to create temporary solutions to address this issue, the mortgage and real estate industries can still greatly benefit from better standardization across these temporary orders," Mackey said. "As the three groups representing the interests of the major players in the real estate transaction - mortgage lenders, title/settlement companies and real estate agents - these entities are uniquely suited to craft a model that addresses the specific challenges of implementing RON for real estate transactions, and on behalf of IDS, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to these groups for addressing this issue head-on."

As noted in a July 1 article in MBA NewsLink, the MBA's official electronic publication, "The model executive order, designed for use by state governors, proposes legal protection of remote notarizations to preserve the public's health and well-being in light of COVID-19. The order emphasizes use of electronic documents and virtual communications to satisfy the legal requirements of notarizations." The draft model also seeks to provide greater legal certainty for mortgage transactions conducted using remote ink notarization (RIN), which many states opted to approve in their respective temporary authorizations rather than RON.

"While RON is certainly the preferable of the two methods, it is easy to see, in light of the larger implementation hurdle RON presents, why states would opt for RIN in their initial round of temporary measures," Mackey added. "However, states should view RIN as just that - a temporary measure to help address immediate concerns - while also committing to the goal of putting the legislative mechanisms in place to make RON the long-term solution."

Remote Online Notarization Taking Hold in Florida, NotaryCam Reports

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, announced it has observed a significant increase in remote online notarization (RON) adoption and utilization for real estate transactions in Florida over the past three months. Since January 1, which is the date Florida's RON law went into effect, the company has experienced a 100% month-over-month increase in RON closings.

"With such a high concentration of property transactions being executed by out-of-state residents, Florida represents a great use case for RON," said NotaryCam Founder and CEO Rick Triola. "Our volume of Florida RON closings is doubling almost every other day, and we have signed hundreds of new partners in the past three months. We're thankful that Florida real estate professionals have embraced RON quickly and whole-heartedly to enable their clients' transactions to proceed faster and smoother than ever before."

According to the Florida Realtors(R) association, international buyers accounted for 36,400 of all existing home sales in the state between August 2018 and July 2019, which represents $16 billion in volume. The association also estimates that the vacation/rental-home business accounted for $27.4 billion in sales within the state in 2018. In addition, Florida also has four out of the top 10 cities on the U.S. News & World Report "Best Places to Retire" list for 202), including Fort Myers at No. 1, Sarasota and No. 2, Port St. Lucie at No. 5 and Jacksonville at No. 6.

For Florida-based real estate closing attorney and NotaryCam client Jordan Lulich of Lulich Attorneys and Consultants, the availability of user-friendly technology has made RON a popular option with clients across all demographics.

"We have started offering digital real estate closings to Florida sellers and buyers. I thought this would only be popular among younger clients. However, to my surprise, even older clients have been able to successfully complete the closings through NotaryCam," Lulich said. "The technological support and guidance that is offered is really top notch, and I have only heard positive feedback from the real estate agents and clients that I work with. We continue to push all of our clients to close digitally as it makes the process easier for everyone."

"I have been part of many closings where I've had clients close in other states or areas, but never live," said Robenson Juste, a broker associate at EXP Realty and based in Indian River County, Fla., which includes Vero Beach. "Mr. Lulich was able to do an online closing with the seller. This process with Mr. Lulich was very smooth and effortless. It created a unique digital experience where we all shared the joy together even though we were all in different places, creating one happy seller experience."

"I have had on two different occasions clients who were not able to attend the in-person closings at our office," said Michael Salazar, a Miami-based broker with Luxury Property Realty. "Rather than stress about ensuring the mobile notary would be able to accommodate a mail away closing, we scheduled an online closing through NotaryCam. I was nervous at first because I can be old school in terms of having in-person closings. However, to my surprise, the process was so smooth, and even my elderly clients seemed to enjoy it. Now, whenever we get the chance, I always try to do an online closing because I enjoyed it so much"

Additionally, according to Lulich, the increase in RON activity was especially pronounced during March and into April with in-state buyers and sellers due to concerns and regulations surrounding COVID-19.

"For the past six months, I have been passionately talking about RON closings only to be faced with skepticism and reluctancy," Lulich explained. "However, now clients, customers and vendors are flocking to have their closings completed digitally. RON closings will be extremely useful and more popular in the coming weeks in light of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' stay-at-home order issued on April 1."

On March 18, U.S. Senators Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) introduced Senate Bill 3533, also known as the SECURE Notarization Act, which would legalize RON nationwide. The bill was introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has prompted several states and municipalities to issue "shelter-in-place" or "stay-at-home" orders and individuals to practice social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the disease. In addition, many states have also issued temporary RON provisions to address the challenges of conducting in-person notarization transactions during the pandemic.

"Given the current climate, in-person closings simply are not an option for the foreseeable future," Triola added. "As Florida has demonstrated, the ability to conduct real estate closings remotely is critical to preventing this sector from grinding to a complete halt. NotaryCam applauds all efforts to make RON an option in all 50 states."

NotaryCam Approved to Provide eNotary, RON Services for Michigan Notaries

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam®, the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced that it has been approved by the Michigan Department of State to provide both eNotary and remote online notarization (RON) services to the more than 113,000 notaries public registered in the state.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson noted in a joint announcement regarding the availability of eNotary/RON and online voter registration, "Both programs represent steps forward for Michigan in using technology to provide modern and convenient services to residents."

As an approved vendor, NotaryCam had to meet certain state requirements, including providing a demonstration of their notarial platforms to department staff that covered specific security features like tamper-evident documents and an audit trail. To date, 13 states, including Michigan, have enacted RON laws, and another nine states are set to do so in 2020.

"The availability of RON nationwide is inevitable, but it is still a cause for celebration when individual states join the movement to modernize the notarial act by legalizing RON," NotaryCam Founder and CEO Rick Triola said. "NotaryCam is proud to be among the first vendors approved by the state to provide RON services, and we look forward to helping Michigan notaries continue to deliver the invaluable services they always have, albeit in a more modern and streamlined fashion."

"As an early adopter of RON closings, CSS has been working with Rick Triola and his NotaryCam technology and team for years," said Jerome Jelinek, CEO and General Counsel of Traverse City, Mich.-based Corporate Settlement Solutions (CSS). "NotaryCam closings greatly enhance the customer experience of real estate closings. Its team of notaries are knowledgeable, experienced, professional and always willing to accommodate the needs of customers and CSS team members. To truly serve our customers, industry members need to use NotaryCam remote online closings for all possible closings."

NotaryCam Applauds Texas for Eliminating Roadblock to Recording Remotely Notarized Real Estate Transactions

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R) Founder and CEO Rick Triola today praised the Texas legislature for passing SB 2128, which will go into effect on September 1. The bill provides recording jurisdictions with additional clarity when conducting paper recordings of electronically executed documents.

This bill addresses several uncertainties previously acknowledged in regard to remote online notarization (RON) in Texas. Under this bill, a notary will be able to certify via an affidavit that a paper copy of a notarized electronic record is a true and correct copy, and county clerks will be required to record the transaction.

"Even though RON has been legal in Texas for nearly a year, nuances in the state's real estate laws legislation have created unforeseen roadblocks to adoption. However, the passage of SB 2128 should remove the final hurdle for RON adoption in Texas," Triola said. "By passing this bill, the Texas legislature has removed doubt that a properly executed RON transaction will be accepted by county recorders statewide, thus paving the way for mortgage lenders and title/settlement professionals to begin executing remotely notarized and closed Texas-based real estate transactions."

According to data from the Property Records Industry Association (PRIA), only 71 (*see note 1) of the 254 counties in Texas current offer eRecording. Thus, with the vast majority of counties lacking the capabilities to eRecord, the Texas legislature correctly recognized the current state of affairs and enacted a solution to allow RON transactions to move forward regardless of a particular jurisdiction's recording procedures.

"On a practical level, SB 2128 expands the definition of a paper document to include electronic records that have been 'papered out,' thus removing any doubt that these documents are eligible to be recorded in the state of Texas," said Celia Flowers, owner of East Texas Title. "After talking to my clerks after the original RON statute went into effect last year, I quickly discovered that many of them did not know about the bill, nor did they understand what RON was. As a result, many of them - especially those that did not eRecord - were not going to accept documents that had been electronically notarized. I think this bill resolves many of the concerns clerks had regarding RON by providing a legally accepted framework for converting electronic document into paper format for recording purposes."

Triola and Flowers, along with the Texas Land Title Association's Director of Government Affairs and Counsel Aaron Day and James Anderson from Championship Title, will be sharing lessons learned from Texas's roll-out of RON at the ALTA ONE conference in Austin.

The session, "Notable: Texas Title Agents are Rocking with RON," will take place on Wednesday, October 23 from 10:30-11:30 a.m. CT. For more information on the session and the conference, visit http://meetings.alta.org/one/.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), creator of remote online notarization (RON), acknowledged leader in online notarization and original provider of patented mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced it is extending its 2018 record growth to another unprecedented performance in 2019. Following a nearly 140 percent 2018 increase in new users, NotaryCam surpassed 200,000 users in the first half of 2019, and is on pace to add 10,000 users monthly.

"NotaryCam's first-mover advantage and persistence have really earned dividends. By any measure, 2018 was the most impressive year to date in NotaryCam's history, and that momentum continues to propel us in 2019," said NotaryCam Founder and CEO Rick Triola. "Further, we've sustained our robust new user growth without technical glitches or notary/customer downtime, ensuring consumers, lenders and settlement professionals maintained reliable access to the NotaryCam platform for all their notarization and closing needs."

Throughout its growth trajectory, NotaryCam has achieved and sustained the highest Net Promoter Score (NPS) in the niche and remains the only platform that scales in every jurisdiction, meaning NotaryCam alone provides mortgage lenders and their settlement agents the competitive advantage of closing how the client wants to close.

NotaryCam's expansion includes growing international demand, as illustrated by its role in successfully closing RON transactions in 146 countries just in the last month. In Q3, the firm will open an international headquarters in Richmond, Virginia, while expanding its notary pool across the country.

"With real estate and mortgage transactions at an all-time high, our 2019 growth outlook is rosy mid-year as we work behind the scenes to advance adoption of remote online notarization and remote online closings nationwide," Triola added. "We not only just recently completed our first Florida transaction, but also helped a major provider of title insurance and transaction services complete its first remote notarization in Texas. Across the board we're now closing daily what we previously have done in a year."

NotaryCam Completes Its First Remote Online Notarization eWill Transaction in Nevada

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced that it has executed its first electronic will (eWill) transaction in Nevada using remote online notarization (RON). The transaction was conducted on behalf of a client of Reno-based law firm Laub & Laub.

"For an eWill, the notarial act become even more critical, as it helps ensure that the will holds up in probate," said NotaryCam Founder and CEO Rick Triola. "Utilizing RON to authenticate this critical document not only adds an extra layer of assurance, but it also enables Nevada residents to execute the document at their convenience, eliminating the need to take time out of their day to travel to their attorney's office to complete the transaction. NotaryCam is honored to be among the first RON providers to execute an eWill transaction in the state of Nevada."

Nevada has recognized the legality of eWills since 2001, but only since the passage of Nevada's RON bill last year have attorneys within the state had the ability to remotely execute them with their clients. To ensure the wishes laid out in the eWill survive probate, NotaryCam added security measures including video recording of the signing ceremony, tamper-sealing on the document and registering the transaction into blockchain.

"This was the first will I'd ever done with a notary online, and I thought the process was pretty amazing. I could see the two witnesses and the notary all on my screen, and they could see me so there was no question as to whether the appropriate parties were in place," said Nik. C Palmer, Esq., the attorney from Laub & Laub involved in the eWill signing. "The NotaryCam platform made it easy to ask questions and share information right then and there. The entire ceremony took 15 minutes and was quicker than it would have been in our office."

"April 16 is National Healthcare Decisions Day, which serves as an important reminder for every person over 18 to begin having conversations with their loved ones about their private wishes for medical and end-of-life care," Triola added. "While one typically thinks of a will as a document outlining the dispensation of a person's assets after their death, living wills provide individuals with the opportunity to communicate their healthcare wishes in the event they are unable to do so. By allowing eWills, or any wills for that matter, to be remotely notarized, Nevada has eliminated several barriers that might have otherwise prevented individuals from engaging in advanced care planning."

NotaryCam Helps East Texas Title Complete Its First Remote Online Closing

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering and market leader in remote online notarization and mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced that East Texas Title has executed its first remote online closing (ROC(TM)) in Texas since the state's remote online notarization law went into effect. The transaction, which was executed using NotaryCam's eClose360(R) eClosing platform, was performed on behalf of a couple currently located in Colorado and selling their property in Longview, Texas.

"We started conducting remote online closings on the seller's side first because that was something we could do immediately without having to wait for the lenders to be ready," said Celia Flowers, owner of East Texas Title. "What was really important to us was to stop mail outs because when you're mailing documents to people, they can get lost. They might not sign in all the right places and then send back incorrectly executed documents, which really holds up the transaction. With remote online notarizations and closings, it's instant, and the documents are signed correctly."

In addition to the sellers, a NotaryCam-trained Texas Signing Agent, the closer from East Texas Title, another representative from East Texas Title and NotaryCam's Director of Notary Operations Henry Smith were also present for the transaction via the platform's live video feed. In accordance with Texas law, all documents were signed and notarized and made accessible to East Texas Title immediately, with the full transaction taking less than one hour.

"Historically, we would have had to ship the documents to sellers in Denver and then wait for them to return the documents before we could complete the closing. By closing remotely with NotaryCam, we were able to complete the seller's side of the process the same day," Flowers added. "The sellers thought it was great because they didn't have to find a notary and could do it all online. The husband had some health issues so it was nice that he was able to be comfortable at home. The wife came in just as we were starting because she didn't have to leave work to go find a notary. For them, the convenience factor was a huge plus."

"The business case for remote online notarizations and closings is as clear today as it was back in 2012 when NotaryCam was founded. Home buyers and sellers are no longer constrained by geography, and the mortgage closing process must follow suit," said NotaryCam Founder Rick Triola. "Without the remote option, this couple was facing hundreds of dollars in extra expenses, not to mention extreme inconvenience, simply to complete the sale of their home. Having completed more than 130,000 remote online notarizations, we speak from experience when we say, 'There is a better way.'"

In July 2018, Texas became the third state to allow its notaries to perform remote online notarizations (RONs) nationwide, which is a critical component to the full ROC transaction. Today, Virginia, Montana, Texas, Nevada, Vermont, Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Tennessee and Ohio have all passed some form of RON legislation.

"Remote online closings simply are not possible without remote online notarization, and we applaud these states in their foresight to allow their notaries to conduct these transactions not just within their individual jurisdictions, but worldwide," Triola added. "Given the size of the Texas real estate market, the state's adoption of remote online closings could prove to be a catalyst for more widespread adoption throughout the country."
