Key Takeaways
- Match the current title, seller name and identity documents.
- For a company seller, obtain a current company affidavit, authorised-signatory rules, board or shareholder approvals where required, and seal evidence.
- Check marital-status evidence and whether spouse consent is relevant.
- If an attorney signs, inspect the original power of attorney, scope, dates, authentication and Land Office form.
- Put authority documents, deposit recipient and refund protection into the written closing file.
Verify the legal owner, signatory authority, company resolutions, spouse consent and powers of attorney before paying.
Confirm Who Can Sell the Property
A polished contract is not enough if the named seller does not match the title or the signatory lacks authority. Resolve identity and authority before a reservation payment becomes difficult to recover.
