Can you notarize your own paper work?

Answer 1

No! The purpose of notarizing a signature is to provide verification that the person that signed it was in fact the person they said they were. It violates the rules and would be deemed inappropriate and would probably invalidate the signature.

Answer 2

No, a lawyer cannot notarize their own signature, no one can, nor can a person who is the beneficiary of the object of the document. The whole point of notarizing a signature is to have someone else attest to the fact that the person actually signed the document, in case the person later denies it or is no longer able to capable of affirming his or her signature.

Answer 3

A notary can only notarize another person's signature. The notary is acting as an impartial third party. Notarizing one's own signature is considered a conflict of interest. The real question is whether the situation the attorney is in actually requires a notary. If the attorney is representing a client, his signature will usually be accompanied by his license number. In cases where the attorney is signing a document as his client's representative, no notary is required. If the attorney is acting in personal matters on his own behalf, he cannot notarize his own signature. The bottom line is that notarizing a signature prevents people from claiming at some future date that they did not actually sign an agreement when they did. If the person is known to be who the person says the person is, notaries are not necessary. Notarizing a signature is usually done when working out a high value agreement between complete strangers, or when mailing agreements between two distant parties.
