Can an attorney notarize a power of attorney document as a notary if said attorney is to be the attorney in fact pursuant to that document?
No. Any legal document should not be witnessed or notarized by an individual who will benefit from the document. An attorney-in-fact benefits from a POA because it gives the attorney-in-fact complete authority over the property of the principal.
Do you have to speak in order to grant power of attorney?
No. A power of Attorney is a written, singed and witnessed document. It is not necessary that the grantor speak.
What should you do if an agent does not show proof of Power of Attorney?
If an agent cannot provide proof of their authority then you should NOT accept their signature on any legal document. They have no authority until they can PROVE that they do. When an attorney-in-fact signs a document on behalf of the principal they should not only provide the POA document but also an Affidavit stating they are the AIF, the principal has not died and the POA has not been revoked.
On a claim form is a witnessed signature the same as a notarized signature?
No, it is not the same. A signature that is merely witnessed by some other person is referred to as an "attested" signature. A notarized signature is where the signature is witnessed by a notary public with the notary affixing the appropriate stamp and seal on the document that was signed.If the claim form simply has another line for a witness to sign, it does not have to be by a notary unless the claim form specifically states that it must be by a notary.
What does witnessed by mean on an application?
"Witnessed by" on an application typically refers to someone who has observed the signing of a document or the completion of a form and can verify that the information provided is accurate. The witness usually signs the document to confirm their observation.
Does the document Power Of Attorney have to be notarized or is your signature all that is needed?
Yes, needs to be notarized
How do you prove that a person has done a signature?
A notary public or two unbiased witnesses should sign the document underneath the signature in question. These people need to be physically present when the document is signed. If it is too late to have the document witnessed or notarized, you can subpoena a signature sample to create a comparison (assuming there is a court case).
What symbol do you use when signing a document on behalf of someone else?
When signing on behalf of someone else, you should include the word "by" followed by your signature. For example, "John Doe, by Jane Smith." This indicates that you are signing as a representative of someone else.
How do you report a notary that forged my signature I did not sign the document but she notarized my signature?
Visit the local district attorney's office and ask to speak with an assistant. If possible bring a copy of the forged document with you.
How long will it take for judge to sign your modification orders?
An attorney should have the modified version of the orders ready for a signature at the time of the ruling to curtail any delay. If not, it is dependent on when the attorney prepares the document for a signature.
Does a faxed document signature need to be witnessed and is it legal to witness the signature when It is faxed back to you?
No, faxed signatures cannot be notarized or considered as valid and/or "legal" unless they can be witnessed in person. How do you REALLY know the person on the other end of the fax (or e-mail) is REALLY who they say they are?
Can you do an Affidavit of Scrivener's Error for condominium document error if there is a mistake in how the association dues are calculated?
Yes. That type of error could be corrected by recording a Scrivener's Affidavit that explains the error and correction in detail. The issue must be addressed by the attorney who drafted the condominium documents as the legal representative of the developer. The affidavit should be executed by the scrivener who executed and notarized the original document.
