Is the signing process somehow overly complicated? I was always under the impression it's pretty straight forward.

It's actually pretty easy to mis-sign something. You'll have to sign multiple documents in multiple places. Some areas will need to be notarized and others witnessed. If even one part is messed up, you'll have to send the whole thing back and correct it. I just finished notarizing an Alberta sale for a friend, and it took quite some time. Notaries and lawyers will charge you a mint for the process, as well.
