Found this answer on jamesmirick.wordpress.com/2006/11/23/what-did-we-learn-from-the-pilgrims/ "We learned the value of education. The Pilgrims had a commercial contract with the Merchant Adventurers in London, who fronted them the money to come to America in return for the Pilgrims shipping back furs and lumber. The Merchant Adventurers kept the books, and hence the Pilgrims felt they were being continually cheated. So once the first couple of years had passed, they called to England for a schoolmaster, and set up schools for all children, where they would be taught "reading, writing, and the casting up of accounts." Ever practical, these Pilgrims, teach them to be Accountants . . ."

DOES a notarized document become a binding contract?

The notary seal and notary's signature does not make a document a binding contract. The signatures on a contract can be notarized. However, when a document if notarized, the notary is simply stating that to the best of their knowledge the signature is that of the person signing the document. In other words, the notary verifies a signature that they witness. A contract would be binding once the participants sign it in front of the notary and the document is notarized.
