If the Notary is present to witness signatures - ALL the persons actually signing the document must be present.
well you could, but it would be illegal... also they're not really witnesses if they are not there
If someone notarizes your signature once, can they use that that document to notarize your signature a second time not in their present ?
Not unless the signature is known to the notary.
You present the power of attorney form to the third party.
Laws vary by jurisdiction, but in New York state, by way of example, a person whose signature is notarized must physically appear before the notary public.
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).
Generally, an acknowledgment formally documents the following:That the signer of a document appeared before the Notary,That the Notary positively identified the signer, andThat the signer both acknowledged the signature as his/hers, and that the signature was made willingly.You need to check the rules in your jurisdiction. If both signers are present the notary may be able to attach an acknowledgment for legal purposes. That is often done to make a legal document "recordable" in the land records.
Go to a notary public. * Take the document(s) and required identification to a licensed Notary Public. All persons executing the document must be present at the time of legal attestation.
Typically you would not file it with the court. You would present a notarized copy to the person you are doing business with. If it happens to be a court proceeding, then the court would get a copy.
Documents must be affirmed by a notary public licensed in the state in which the document is presented. Family members can be a witness notary action, but the person wishing to have a document notarized must be present and properly identified or a person holding a court ordered POA for said person must be the presenter.
Probably, with a notarized power of attorney + other required documents.
