I am a signing agent and would like to request the expertise of the title community. I had a closing where husband took a heloc on home.Wife was on deed and needed to sign (NJ -til,mort,rtc.) Wife never used her husband's name. When her name came up on paperwork it was her husbands last name. When I got home,  I looked it up online, to the last mort and deed,(they told me she never used his last name) and the mort had her real name and she signed as that, but the deed had her listed with his last name and she never signed his last name. Is this possible? I'm trying to think of situations where this could happen, but the dates of the paperwork(online) make me think that something is not quite right. Needless to say I could not ID her properly for the closing and was fired for not doing so, (oh well ,so be it) but I would like to hear from experienced title agents that could clarify anything I might have missed. I really appreciate you for your time and I thank you for your input
