Generally, the notary confirms the identity of the signer, witnesses the signing of the document, confirms the signer is acting of their own free will and dates the acknowledgment.
I have a California Probate document that I need to notarize. Can I have it notarized in the state of Virginia instead of California and still be legally binding?
Documents aren't notarized, signatures are. Notarization does not make a document "legal". It just proves (assuming the notary is honest) that the document was signed before a notary by a person with identification proving who he or she was. If the only question as to a document's legality is whether or not it was signed by a particular person, then notarization will go a long way towards having it regarded as legal. If there are other defects (examples: the signer was under the age of majority, or the contract itself violates the law) then it's no more legal with a notarization than it would have been without one.
