Thank you for the positive comment on the paperwork we prepared for you being good. I remember your file and sympathize with the tardiness of the County Clerk's office in returning your recorded affidavit. I remember taking you in as a client on August 2 and preparing the affidavit of survivorship the next day for your signature. You needed the affidavit quickly so we put your file at the top of our list in priority. You returned to the office in the afternoon on August 3 and signed the affidavit. We recorded the affidavit with the County Clerk the very next day on August 4. Your copy of the recorded affidavit was then returned from the County Clerk's office on August 14. Again, I deeply sympathize that it took the County Clerk 10 days to return your copy. I truly believed they would return your copy quicker than 10 days, as they are generally very quick. I remember you stopping in several times between the date we filed (Aug 4) and the date they returned it (Aug 14) checking in to see if it was ready. I hope you understand that after Aug 4 when we filed your affidavit, it was in the County Clerk's hands and we had no control on when your copy was to be returned to our office. I wish I could change that for you, and many of my clients, but I simply cannot control how fast or slow the County Clerk mails out its copies. Rest assured that your affidavit was timely recorded on August 4 which was less than 24 hours after you signed the document in my office. I will work with the County Clerk's office to encourage them to pursue a more timely process in processing and returning paperwork. Please contact my office if there is anything we can do for you.
