Do you mean for like deeds? I don’t think ever - the issue being lenders (who don’t know how law works) and scammers who coerce folks into surrendering deeds.

Many times it’s a state law issue. Georgia for instance has a strict wet signature requirement for conveyances (attestation too). Slowly the landscape is changing with remote notarization laws in half the states but I don’t see the market demanding it as much. Probably should be different standards for residential v. CRE.

People with dogs: how did you get your dog used to city life? My dog is almost a year and half now (having lived the past ~5 months in the city) and he is terrified of the city. We used to live in the suburbs so much more quiet and low key. The cars going by, sudden sounds, bikes/scooters are a huge stressor, but more than anything it’s people - if he sees anyone walking or around him he panics and tries to flee. I can’t afford to send him to an expensive dog trainer and don’t know what to do :/
