Cashier Checks?

Question

I am going to a closing on my house today. I was told to have the cashier's check made out to me and then i would sign it over to the title company. How do you sign over a cashier check?

Answer 1

Making it out to yourself means it says "Payable to: (Your Name)".

Print on the back "Pay to the order of (Title Company)"
Sign your name underneath that.

Choose a bank with a branch near the closing office to issue the check, just in case the instructions were wrong and it should be made out to the Title Company.

Answer 2

That seems odd, the cashier's checks I've always used for purchasing homes had my name on as well as the title company's.

At closing, I'd sign and then they'd sign.

When you go to your bank for the check, you should have some sort of paperwork from the title company and if you let them know it's for a house purchase they should know how to fill it out correctly.

There is usually a fee from the bank for getting a cashier's check.

Answer 3

You better check with the title company that does not sound right. I had my cashier's check made out to the title company when I bought my house.

Answer 4

On the back of the check sign your name then put " Pay to the Order of Title Company".

Answer 5

U might want to make the cashiers check with payee as the Title Company .. and then u put ur information as purchaser ..

Answer 6

when they say "sign over" they simply mean sign the back. Normally when you receive a check and sign the back you're "signing it over" to your bank or check cashing store allowing them to collect the funds on your behalf. In this case your giving permission for the title co to collect for you

Answer 7

You simply endorse it on the back of the check.

Answer 8

same as a regular check it is just a check that guarantees payment
