any thing under Mass law that would require an original, because the writer just realized the documents could be scanned and emailed. FWIW, the law could be Ct or NY or Va or anything East Coast.
the only thing I could think of is unreasonable client insisting on seeing the lawyer with originals (maybe crusty old guy that remembers "originals") but any ideas would be appreciated.

If the documents signed constituted a security this could work, but I'm not sure what story line requires that a security physically be somewhere unless there is some kind of security interest involved.
As to real estate law, not my cup of tea.
