[quote=heywood]They ask for it but you don’t have to provide it. When I filled in that form I asked my agent and he explained that it is to assist with the title search, for example is if someone had the same name as you the records could be confused. In my case they said my name was uncommon enough that if I wanted to leave off particular items it wouldn’t be a problem. Call the escrow company and talk to them, thats what you pay them for after all.[/quote]
I understand. I think this particular company is just looking for an easy way to do the job. It’s just crazy that they should even ask some of those questions (i.e. about kids). I was so taken aback about the questions about our remodeling/repairing of the property within the last six months and whether or not the accounts were settled that instead of checking the boxes I wrote down that effectively says “How the hell would I know since I didn’t know anything about this property until a few weeks ago and why would I do any repair/remodel on a property that I didn’t even know exist.”
