The standard practice for closing attorneys to check the buyer and seller’s photo identification at closing provides a safeguard against any potential forgery and fraud – not to mention, the majority of lenders require that photo identification of borrowers be reviewed and photocopied at closing. Specifically, the loan closing package will often include a form requesting the type of ID presented at closing, as well as the issuance and expiration date. In addition to providing the requested information, the closing attorney must also certify that he or she has personally viewed the borrower’s photo ID and reasonably concluded the identity of the borrower.

Winters here are mild and a little wet – this means the ground doesn’t freeze. While that’s great for late-blooming flowers and outdoor plants, it’s not so great if your house is made of wood. Termites in South Carolina don’t take the winter off; they might be less active than in the spring, but they never really go away.
