In new york state can a notary notarize for someone if notary's name is included?
If the Notary's name appears anywhere in the body of the document that they are asked to notarize, they may not notarize the document due to the appearance of a conflict of interests.
Can a document with a date in the pass be notorized?
It depends. There are two types of notarial acts - an acknowledgment and an oath. When a notary takes an acknowledgment, the signer of the document appears before the notary and declares that he/she signed the document voluntarily. It does not matter how long ago the person signed it, and it does not need to be signed in the notary's presence. However, the date on the notary's certificate must be the date that the person actually appeared before the notary and the notary signed his name and affixed his seal. When a notary administers an oath on a paper document such as an affidavit, the person must sign in the notary's presence. Therefore, the document must be dated the date that the person appeared before the notary, took the oath and signed the document. A notary can never back-date or post-date a notarial certificate. The day that the signer appears in person before the notary, and the notary affixes his/her seal or stamp, is the date that should go in the notary's certificate. If the document is being acknowledged rather than sworn to, the date the document was executed/signed by the original signer is irrelevant.
Can a person be denied service by a notary?

I'm not certain what the all purpose acknowlegement your speaking of is - however -A notary is basically only confirms the person signing the document has been identified as the person signing it (preventing forgery). The document can say anything...even "I swear the name signed below is not my name"... but the notary assures that signature is valid. Notarys do not confirm any legal power to the document or should even be concerned with it's contents.It is true that in some States a notary can also give a legal Oath.

A Notary Public is an official who is granted this responsibility in a State within the USA.

Does it constitute a fraudulent act if a notary validates a document when only one signer is present and the other signer has not been personally identified?
A notary is only required to verify the signature of the actual person signing the document for which the notarization is required. Any other names or signatures on the document does not become the notary's responsibility unless the notary is notarizing each and every signature on the document. In that particular case, then all the signatories must be present and must sign the document in the presence of the notary. Most notarized documents are designed to have only one signature for a notary to notarize.
Can you notorize documents by mail in Florida?
No. In fact, doing so defeats the whole purpose of notarization. When a document is notarized, one of two acts is performed: 1. The notary takes the acknowledgment of the signer, whereby the signer declares in the physical presence of the notary that he or she signed the document voluntarily and understands its contents. The notary must make a layman determination as to the signer's competency. If the notary is not face-to-face with the signer, the notary has no way of knowing whether or not the person signing the document is competent, drunk, or even alive. 2. The notary administers an oath to the signer, where the signer swears that the statements contained in the document are correct. In addition, when administering an oath, the person must sign in the notary's presence. An oath requires a verbal exchange between the notary and the signer and the notary must actually watch the person sign their name. To conclude, a notary may NEVER affix their seal/stamp to a document unless the person whose signature they are notarizing is actually standing in front of them at the time the seal/stamp is affixed.

Can grandson's wife notarize power of health care?
A person who is authorized to notarize something is called a notary public. A notary public is authorized by the state to act in a capacity to help authenticate a document and especially to verify that the person who signed the document is actually who they represent themselves to be. In general, to be safe, a person who may have a "gain" in the document should not notarize the signature. It calls into the question the notary and her notarization. Did the real person sign or did the notary falsify the matter in order to gain money, power, control, or some decision making capacity?? Therefore, if the grandson's wife is going to notarize any document at all, the document should not name the grandson or his parents or siblings in any capacity in the document. Often banks have a notary public. When you go to the bank, be prepared to present a picture I.D., even if you are a regular customer.
