Difference between express powers and explicit powers?
Do you mean expressed powers and implied powers? Expressed powers are explicit in the Constitution meaning that they are written down in the section outlining the powers of Congress, the President and the Judicial Branch. Implied powers are powers that are implied in the Constitution. For example, the Constitution makes no mention of regulating radio waves (since there was no radio when the Constitution was written) but since they have the power to regulate commerce between states, if you consider radio waves going over state lines, then they also have the power to regulate radio waves. Also, radio is a business so it is commerce. This helps our Constitution be flexible and still used today.

Is a notarized documents legal in a court of law and if not what is the point of notarizing it?
A notarized document would be considered as appropriate evidence as to the signature on the document. A notary can only verify what is 'sworn to' in front of them. You obviously have something in mind and should add more details to your query.
A notarized document can be used as evidence in court. However, whether it is enforceable depends on the document and what you need it to prove. If two people have a dispute regarding who owns real estate and one has an un-notarized deed and the other has a notarized deed, the one with the fully executed deed will likely win. If a Will was not notarized and state laws require a that a will be notarized, the Will, even if written by the decedent, may be vulnerable to challenges because of the missing notary. If it was notarized and has no technical errors it would be allowed automatically.
As in every profession, there are unscrupulous notaries who notarize documents that are obviously forged or fraudulent. Although 'notarized' the court has the power to reject them. That's what courts are for. A notary's acknowledgement does not automatically give credence to just any document.
How do you put your grandchild on your house deed?
You need to consult with an attorney. Minor children usually acquire an interest only by inheritance.
If the child is a minor:
You can execute a deed that transfers your property to a minor child, however, it's not a good idea. Adding a child's name would actually complicate the title to the property and could result in legal costs down the road. A problem would arise if the property must be sold or if you decide to take the child's name "off" the property. At that time you will encounter legal difficulties.
Generally, if the property must be sold, a guardian would have to be appointed by a court to sell the property for the minor. Remember that the property will be considered the child's property. The guardian will need to obtain a licensefrom the court. The court will require the appointment of a 'guardian ad litem' who would need to review the proposed sale and report back to the court whether it is in the best interest of the child. All those appointees would need to be paid for their services. There would be court costs and attorney's fees if you need to hire an attorney. After the sale, the court would require that the proceeds be supervised on behalf of the child until they reach the age of eighteen.
In some states, a child can refuse the property when she comes of age and the conveyance could be voided. That might cause other problems.
If nothing will be done with the property until the child becomes an adult, and it's a friendly conveyance (not one carried out to defraud or to purposely encumber the title), then there is no prohibition against it in Massachusetts. However, if the conveyance is done to avoid creditors the court can void the conveyance and the creditors can seize the property.
There is one more factor to consider. Once the child becomes eighteen, remember- they are the legal owner and the relationship may not be so friendly. They may refuse to convey the property back unless they receive compensation. Also, the property will become vulnerable to their creditors.
If the child is an adult:
An attorney can draft a proper deed for your jurisdiction and explain the legal consequences of the transfer and tax consequences, if any.

Can you use a notarized agreement as evidence in court if it was faxed to you by the other party?
No. It is unlikely the court will allow a faxed copy into evidence. Courts need to view the original so it can be confirmed the document wasn't altered before being copied. One of the first things visible in an altered document is a difference in the pen that was used. That difference doesn't come through in a facsimile or copy.
The result may be different if you can prove the parties agreed to honor facsimiles at the time the agreement was executed.

How do I cancel a Life Enhancement Deed?
You may be referring to an enhanced life estate deed. Generally, that type of deed allows the owner to transfer a remainder interest during life and reserve the right to occupy the premises and to sell or mortgage the property. If no further action is taken, the property passes to the remainder grantee upon the death of the grantor without the need for probate.
Generally, the grantor can execute a new deed that changes the grantees without the need for any revocation of the enhanced life estate deed. However, the laws may vary. Deeds should be drafted by a professional according to the rules in the particular jurisdiction. Deeds drafted by non-professionals often contain errors that may be costly to correct later, if they can be corrected.
Can a notary notarize a legal document before the document is actually signed?
It depends on what they are notarizing for, if your signature? Then you better be there to sign the documents and prove you are who you say you are. They don't have to stamp and seal "in front" of you, but they had to see you sign and proof of ID. But if they are notarizing for something else, then it might not need to be done in front of you, or even with you there. It could be done a different day and sent to you in the mail for some type of judgment or other decree and been stamped and sealed for a legal testament.
