That's what my real estate agent told me and also the bank loan officer. I was skeptical, so I called my lawyer. He concurred, saying he saw no reason for his being there. His advice cost me nothing and cost him a potential fee. I'm not saying it's a good idea, just that it does seem to be the custom here in the woods.
