A friend of mine works at a title company and one of these sovereign citizens tried to purchase a home recently. They tried to use all homemade documents for their identification and financial statements, repeatedly. They refused to produce any genuine documents and became increasingly angry when told that they would have to regardless of their personal views on government and it's laws. It drug on for months, until finally they had to threaten to call the police if this person showed up angrily demanding that exceptions be made. In the end they obviously were not able to purchase the home they were attempting to buy.
Ive never heard anyone use drug as the past tense for drag but I like it
I had to look it up because I did it without even thinking, and it appears to be a regional thing. I just use them both interchangeably, I never considered that others don't lol
They sometimes try to mail in silver coins to pay for their houses.
My question would have to be, was this person attempting to get a loan for the house? Because if so, I can understand where they would need financial statements and identification. But if the person walked in with the cash to buy the place, free and clear, then I don't see why it should be a problem.
It's called a proof of funds and it's used to ensure that the buyer has sufficient money to complete the transaction. It was a cash transaction and as I understand it they brought a picture of money and precious metals and a home made ID card
Right, and if the proof of funds is you say that the house cost this much money and the person pulls that much money out of their wallet or whatever and hands it to you, that's proof.
