Dear schiff1997,
The POA/Corrective document that Greatway is asking you to sign allows them to correct clerical or scrivener errors without spending additional time collecting signatures from the seller or buyer.
For instance, let's say the Wyndham deed originally read: 77,000 points in units 1401, 1402 & 1403.
But, Sumday or Greatway messed up and typed it as: 77,000 points in units 1401, 1402 & 1404.
The POA/Corrective document allows them to re-record and correct the mis-typed unit number, it does not allow them to change what you materially purchased as the 77,000 points did not change.
If you've purchased a house recently, all title companies require a POA/Corrective document to be signed as standard practice, this is the same type of document and it has a limited scope to ensure that you get what you paid for in a prompt and timely manner.
As for the Florida portion of your response, there have been recent law changes in Florida that require us to use a licensed title company to conduct a closing for Florida property transfers. This might be why you didn't see this before....or your prior purchase was done without regard for the new compliance laws.
You also made a comment about paying $298 for the closing and that doesn't cover the cost of a notary. We will gladly notarize it for you but that would mean you would have to come to our office. But, if you take the document to your bank they normally will notarize your signature without charge. If a $3-5 notary charge becomes an issue simply email me privately and I'll refund that from the price you paid Sumday Vacations.
This form and documents are not meant to burden you, they are simply a portion of the legalities that now have to be done when transferring a Florida property.
I hope this helps to answer your question, should you need additional information feel free to contact me directly at
