acknowledgement: Power of Attorney acknowledgements - 04/30/09 03:12 PM
A notary signing agent asked a question on a message board this morning about Power of Attorney notarizations, and was chastised by several other notary signing agents for asking the question.
They felt that the notary signing agent should have been able to answer the question on his or her own.  And they are right.
Notary laws vary from state to state.  So there is no point in a notary from one state asking a notary in a different state how to do a notarization properly.  It really depends on the notary's state laws.
Another problem with the question is that, … (0 comments)

acknowledgement: Avoiding UPL, and still being able to 'give advice' - 01/05/09 05:08 AM
'I have a document that needs to be notarized.', is usually how the conversation will start.  I'll ask the caller what kind of document it is, and if it has notary wording on it.
I'm not concerned with the contents of the document. 
But I am concerned if this person has written the document themselves and wants me to notarize it.
