well you could, but it would be illegal... also they're not really witnesses if they are not there
A common law notary public is a public officer appointed by law to serve the public by taking acknowledgments of the signers of such legal documents as deeds, mortgages, agreements and Wills. If a document has been notarized that means it carries the acknowledgment of a notary public at the end of the document. Generally, the notary confirms the identity of the signer, witnesses the signing of the document, confirms the signer is acting of their own free will and dates the acknowledgment.
To be tried in a Court of Law without being present is to be tried in absentia.
No. A document must be actually signed in the presence of the notary.
Yes, a notary can refuse to provide service if the person does not meet the requirements or if the notary has reason to believe the document being notarized is fraudulent or improper. It is within the notary's discretion to deny service if they have concerns about the legality or ethics of the transaction.
It depends on the document being notarized and the specific laws of the jurisdiction. Some documents require witnesses in addition to the notary's signature, while others may only require the notary's signature. It is recommended to consult with a notary or legal professional to determine the requirements for the specific document in question.
Yes it may. However - then the authenticity of the signature COULD be questioned at a later time (i.e.: Did THAT particular person REALLY sign the document?) whereas signing in the presence of a Notary Public would eliminate that question.
Too much information is withheld and not enough to answer. Define "visual document" and how is it being used (or is it planned on being used?
Being a guardian for someone is basically their legal representative, UNLESS these guardianship documents allow for actual physical custody. If that is the case, and the documents is notarized, given by the parent who has official custody, then it should be fine. But they need to file that document with the courts as soon as they can, publish it and make it official. That way, everyone knows what is going on and with whom.AnswerYou cannot be a legal guardian until you have been appointed by a court of law.
It seems like you might be referring to a discussion about a document. Without more specific information, it is difficult to determine which document was being written. Can you provide more context or details?
There is a section of the law to which they must adhere regarding the Notary's own self-interest in the document being Notarized.Quote: "LIMITATION ON NOTARY PUBLIC POWERS"No notary public may act as such in any transaction in which he is a party directly or pecuniarily interested.For the purpose of this provision, none of the following shall be a "direct or pecuniary interest": 1) being a shareholder in a publicly traded company that is a party to the notarized transaction; 2) being an officer, director or employee of a company that is a party to the notarized transaction, unless the director, officer or employee personally benefits from the transaction other than on a non contingency basis; or 3) receiving a fee that is not contingent upon the completion of the notarized transaction."The Notary would be wise to divorce themselves from the appearance of of self-interest by declining to Notarize their own family's documents.A person who notarizes a document from which they may benefit exposes that document to challenges. In case of a will, trust or similar type of document, the damages could be costly if the document is found to be invalid due to the malpractice of the notary.See below link.
It looks exactly like whatever it is copied from. These days notarized copies start out as photocopies of the original document. To this a notary attaches either a paragraph explaining that this is a true copy of the original, or a separate page stating that it is a true copy. In either case the Notary signs and seals his statement that it is a true copy. It is the signature and seal of the Notary that makes it a Notarized copy. Before photocopying, the Notary would have to make a copy by hand, indication only the words and not any graphics in the original document.
Yes, a minor can obtain a passport with only one parent present if the absent parent provides a notarized consent form or if there are extenuating circumstances such as sole custody or the other parent being unavailable.
