Nice to be on vacation to escape all the home sale madness, except....
Before i left I was informed by the Title/Escrow company that one of the documents that showed ownership of the house only had my name on it. The document needed to be refiled with everyone's signatures and a special kind of Notary. Middle sister signed it and Fedexed it to me before I left. I signed it and sent it to Antarctic sister before I left. I stupidly used USPS overnight and the docs still hadn't gotten there four days later.
During all this Antarctic sister decided to break her leg while looking at a new condo for her daughter. She missed a step and fell. Middle sister flew up to take care of her. Which was a good thing because Middle sister noticed I had missed one of the areas to sign. Meanwhile the Title company is getting a bit frantic. They want to sign off on all the docs in order to close by May 27th. They have other documents for us to sign on Tuesday next.
I'm busy texting and calling the sisters to see how to finish this. Antarctic sister can't go out so a mobile notary comes in for her signature. Once that is done, Middle sister emails the docs to me. I fortunately have a digital signature to add to the document. I send this back to middle sister. When she returns to Santa Clara next week, she gets to go to the court Recorders and file the document we just all signed.
Good times.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
