Is it illegal for a notary public to fill out an all purpose acknowledgement?

I'm not certain what the all purpose acknowlegement your speaking of is - however -A notary is basically only confirms the person signing the document has been identified as the person signing it (preventing forgery). The document can say anything...even "I swear the name signed below is not my name"... but the notary assures that signature is valid. Notarys do not confirm any legal power to the document or should even be concerned with it's contents.It is true that in some States a notary can also give a legal 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.
