The Note: One of the most commonly over-completed documents📄

We often see borrowers add a date next to their signature on the Promissory Note.

Here's a good rule of thumb:

👉 If the document asks for a date, add it.

👉 If it only asks for a signature, don't add anything extra.

The Note already contains a document date, and adding an extra handwritten date that wasn't requested can create unnecessary questions during review.

✅ Complete what the document requests.

❌ Don't add information it doesn't ask for.

Have you ever had a borrower try to date every signature line in the package?
