Is a notarized documents legal in a court of law and if not what is the point of notarizing it?
A notarized document would be considered as appropriate evidence as to the signature on the document. A notary can only verify what is 'sworn to' in front of them. You obviously have something in mind and should add more details to your query. A notarized document can be used as evidence in court. However, whether it is enforceable depends on the document and what you need it to prove. If two people have a dispute regarding who owns real estate and one has an un-notarized deed and the other has a notarized deed, the one with the fully executed deed will likely win. If a Will was not notarized and state laws require a that a will be notarized, the Will, even if written by the decedent, may be vulnerable to challenges because of the missing notary. If it was notarized and has no technical errors it would be allowed automatically. As in every profession, there are unscrupulous notaries who notarize documents that are obviously forged or fraudulent. Although 'notarized' the court has the power to reject them. That's what courts are for. A notary's acknowledgement does not automatically give credence to just any document.
Does a notary have to know what is in the document he is notorizing?
Yes and no. The notary does not need to read every word of the document, and can not advise you as to the legality of the document. However, the notary does have to scan over the document for several purposes: (1) to ensure that there are no blank spaces; (2) to determine which type of notarial act is necessary; (3) to record the document description in his or her journal; (4) to ensure that the document does not require the notary to perform an act he is not authorized to do; (5) to determine that the underlying transaction does not appear to be fraudulent on its face. A notary need not be a lawyer and is not expected to know the detailed contents of a document. A notary does not need to know what a document says, what a document does, or whether the document is legal. A notary cannot tell you what kind of notarization your document requires. The document is presented to the notary, the notary crosses out any blank or incomplete areas, verifies the identities of the signers/signatures, and then performs a notarial act - either an acknowledgment or an oath - and that's it. If the document appears to be blatantly fraudulent or the notary suspects fraud or duress, the notary can refuse the notarizaton. The purpose of a notary is to verify that the person executing the document is signing it voluntarily, or that he/she took an oath that the contents of the document are true and correct. Notarization also verifies the identity of a person who appears before the notary, or that a copy of a document is true to the original. The purpose of having a document notarized is either (1) to assure that the people signing said document did so willingly or swore that the document is correct, and that they are who they say they are or (2) to assure people that a copy of a document is a true copy of the original. An affidavit, a type of notarized statement, is similar to speaking in court. Upon signing an affidavit, the signer swears by oath or affirmation that the words in the document are his/her words. The notary verifies that the person is who they claim to be and must witness the signature hitting the paper.

Does a medical power of attorney need to be notarized?
It depends on the state where you live. In Texas, for example, a medical power of attorney needs either (1) the signature of two persons who witness the subject's signature, OR (2) it needs to be notarized by a Notary Public who witnessed the subject signing the medical power of attorney. It does not need BOTH the witness signatures AND the notarization. But in almost all cases, it is a good idea to get the document notarized even if you have two witnesses. It reduces the possibility that it will be challenged.
