If your spouse is listed on the title of the real estate, their physical presence is required at the closing for a purchase. This is necessary to ensure that all parties with a legal interest in the property are present to sign the necessary documents and agreements.

However, for a sale, the process can be more flexible. At Touchstone, if you are unable to attend the closing in person, we can represent you once we have the original deed and a valid power of attorney. This arrangement allows us to handle the closing on your behalf, ensuring a smooth transaction.

Should there be any challenges with your spouse's attendance at the closing, we encourage you to reach out to your attorney at Touchstone. We are committed to finding creative and practical solutions to accommodate your specific circumstances, ensuring that the closing process is as seamless and convenient as possible for all parties involved.
