Owner Finance Contract Guidance

Summary

Finalizing an owner finance contract for land in Arkansas with requirements to complete paperwork in Texas can be complex. Ensure you understand the contract terms and check if Arkansas law requires specific procedures for land ownership transfer. You cannot finalize Arkansas land transactions in Texas with a Texas notary; the notary must be in Arkansas. Consider requesting a contract modification to allow an Arkansas notary or consult a real estate attorney for alternative solutions. Remote online notarization may be an option, depending on state laws.

Would the closing process be when notary needs to be present
Case Rating: *
The closing process typically involves signing the final documents to transfer ownership, and a notary is often required to witness the signatures and ensure the process is legally binding.
Does your contract specify if the notary must be present at the closing in Texas, or can it be done in Arkansas?
Could the notary do it virtually or will they have to drive to texas
Case Rating: *
In Oklahoma and most states, notaries can sometimes perform their duties virtually (remote online notarization). However, this depends on both states' laws involved in your contract. You should check if Texas allows remote notarization for your specific situation and if Arkansas accepts it.
