Portions of a document may be left blank when the notary signs the jurat, but if those blanks are filled in later on, they are not considered covered by the jurat. Therefore they will not be considered as having been made under oath.

Can a Notary knowingly stamps a document knowing that the person is incoherent?
No. The whole purpose of the notary is to ensure that the person signing the document is competent and knows what they are signing. That is why a notary can not notarize a document unless the signer is in the physical presence of the notary. If a notary affixes his or her stamp to a document, knowing that the person is incoherent and does not understand the document, the notary is guilty of a felony in most states.

What is attestor?
An attestor is simply a witness, someone who 'attests' to the truth of some matter. For instance, a notary public attests to the identity of a person signing a legal document by signing and affixing their seal to the document. Therefore, the notary is an attestor to the identity of whomever signed the document. This negates the need of all parties affected by the document to be present during the signing. The notary is not attesting to the truth or accuracy of the document itself, but only that the person signing the document provided sufficient evidence of their identity to them.

What if a non notary closed a loan without a notary present but notary witnessed customes but not actually signing what legal ramifications can occur?
The job of the notary is to verify that the person signing a document is who they say they are. Some documents require that the notary see the actual signing and some merely require the notary to verify ID. The legal ramifications of an improper or invalid notarization are that the document can be challenged more easily in court, may be completely invalid without a proper notarization, the notary could be sued/fined/charged for improperly notarizing a document, the transaction may be declared void, and other bad things.

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.
