How should you proceed A signer comes to you needing a document notarized but does not know what kind of notarization is required. The document itself does not state this either. As a notary?

As a notary, you can inquire about the purpose of the document or where it will be used to determine the appropriate notarization type. If unsure, it's best to advise the signer to seek guidance from the entity requesting the notarization or a legal professional to ensure the correct notarization is done according to requirements.


If does a legal document need to be attested?

Whether a legal document needs attestation (or notarization) depends on the law of the jurisdiction. As a general rule if a document required such "at common law" then the similar document today might require it unless a statute eliminated the requirement.


Is it legal for a notary to witness a will or other document and then notarize the same document Can it be thrown out as a legal document?

That is what Notaries DO. They witness and substantiate the signatures on the document as being valid.However, the simple act of notarization does NOT make a document a "legal" document.In the case of a will - the Notary's only function (IF notarization of a will was even required by state laws) would be to ensure that the signature of the testator was genuine. The purpose of witnesses to a the signing of a will is if the signature of the testator happened to be challenged at probate, the witnesses could be called upon to verify that the signature actually was the decedents.

What is the meaning of 'duly executed'?

When someone says that a document is "duly executed," they are making a summary statement that all of the necessary legal requirements (such as signing, witnesses, notarization, notice published in a paper, service on required parties, etc.) have been fulfilled to render the document as a valid, enforceable legal instrument (such as a deed, will, contract, governmental enactment, etc.) Specific requirements for "executing" a legal document vary widely by jurisdiction and the type of document, thus saying it is "duly executed" is a way of saying, "everything legally required to be done, has been done."

In New York State can a notary notarize documents for a family member?

In most states a will does not have to be notarized.A will (or codicil to a will) in NY must be attested by two witnesses. A notary is not required. In fact, NY notaries are discouraged from notarizing wills so that their notarization will not be construed as a validation of the will. A notary is only attesting to the signature on the document and not to the content.If a NY will is properly executed it can also be notarized to help avoid future challenges regarding the authenticity of the signature only. Although not required a notarized self-proving affidavit can be attached to a will. In the affidavit the witnesses and testator swear to the fact they witnessed and signed the will. It avoids the necessity of finding the witnesses at the time of death of the testator and makes it simple for the court to allow the will. Most states accept such wills.A will should always be drafted by an attorney who specializes in probate law in your state.

Medical Power of Attorney?

A disabling illness or injury can happen at any time, often without warning. Heart attacks, strokes, and accidents causing disabling injuries are an unfortunate commonality in modern society. When a person becomes disabled and unable to speak for themselves, a medical power of attorney is often needed. Though it goes by different names in different states, the medical power of attorney is essentially written permission to allow another to make medical decisions for you. This permits the medical provider to perform medical procedures on your behalf. Without a power of attorney, the medical provider may be limited in the treatment they may provide, even in an emergency. In the document, the individual designates a power or attorney, sometimes called a proxy, to make medical decisions on their behalf. In most states, an individual can designate more than one person, or at least an alternative person, should the main attorney in fact be unavailable. The power of attorney document will normally become effective at the time the individual becomes disabled and unable to speak for themselves, if the document so states. The document will normally have a date for the power to become effective. The document will also revoke any prior medical powers of attorney previously granted. It may have limitations to what the attorney in fact may decide is in the best interest of the individual. The individual, when creating the document, will have the ability to limit what an attorney in fact may or may not authorize for medical treatment. For instance, if the individual does not wish to be kept alive by artificial means, and so states in the document, or another identified document, the attorney in fact cannot authorize the use of artificial means. In many states, the medical power of attorney is not effective until the medical provider actually sees the document, or at least a copy. Medical providers are usually not required to take someone's word that such a document exists. They must see the document. This is why many people will provide a copy, or the original, to their primary care physician or local hospital. At the very least, the person designated in the document should be aware of it and where it is located. A medical power of attorney is not a general power of attorney. The person designated as attorney in fact will have no authority to access bank accounts, perform real estate transactions or handle other financial matters. The general power of attorney is a separate document, and the individual can designate separate people.
