\tGot a strange phone call last week. I nearly didn\u0092t answer it because I didn\u0092t recognize the number. It was a lawyer in Cary, NC. The people we sold our house to are trying to sell it and the title search turned up a problem with the deed from when we bought it from the builder. A page number on the map was wrong. Can we sign a simple form so they can proceed with the sale? Sure. But there is one little catch. We are in France. The woman gasped. \u0093Now?\u0094 Yes. Now. <\/p>\n
\tShe emailed me the form and I started the thrilling task of tracking down a notary. Preferably who speaks English. Given that the document we\u0092re signing is in English.<\/p>\n
\tTurns out that finding one was easier than I\u0092d anticipated.<\/p>\n
\tThis afternoon Bill and I went for our meeting with her. We signed the form. Showed her our French ID cards. She notarized the form. She said it was free. We hurried up and left before she changed her mind about the price.<\/p>\n
\tNow all I have to do is mail the form back to the US.<\/p>\n
\tThe things that turn up are, well, strange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
