Notaries beware! Do you do your job thoroughly?
The other day, I did a loan signing with a mortgage broker and Realtor present.  First, I brought out my Notorial Log and completed the information in it. Both said wow, they never saw a notary do that.  OK, it is not a Florida requirement, but it is foolish NOT to do this as a notary anywhere!  Then, since there are always Jurats in every mortgage package (OK, maybe not EVERY, but virtually every if not all - I can't recall a mortgage package that DIDN'T have one) I gave them an oath about perjury.  Both looked at each other and again stated, they didn't have any notary that they could recall do that.  Now this, I have a problem with.  Do they, and do you realize the potential impact of NOT completely doing your job as a notary?  It could jeopardize a lot of things, and have implications for you as the notary, the borrower, the title company, and the lender.  If something goes wrong down the line, and it ends up challenged in court, do you realize the headaches and problems this can cause - everyone!!?? 
Did you not see the words, "Sworn to and subscribed to...."?    The very first word, "SWORN" ... more
