When i closed on my house I insisted the package be sent to me days ahead so I could read it over. Made everyone unhappy that was necessary including me. But I was in a position to do that and I did. I think most good notaries go over a verbal summary of the documents at the time of signing - but it's obviously not binding if there is a misunderstanding. Margin accounts someone could read over after the fact - but the length and lack of a critical summary on most agreements is ridiculous.
