FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I worked for attorneys for 20 years and then decided to become a real estate agent. I decided to become a Notary Public in 2003 when I saw there was a need for those who needed help with notarizing their important documents and could not get to a notary during normal business hours.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Notarizing real estate loan documents, including refinances, purchases, loan modifications, various types of deeds and affidavits.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
We are not attorneys and therefore, by law, cannot explain or interpret the contents of any document for you, instruct on how to complete a document or direct you on the advisability of signing a particular document. By doing so, we would be engaging in the unauthorized practice of law, and could face legal penalties. If you are uncertain about anything, you should contact an attorney, or the individual who provided you with your document, before you see a Notary Public. It is the client's responsibility to complete all forms, except signatures to be notarized, prior to the arrival of the Notary. As notaries our job is to help reduce fraud. As such, a notary may not perform any notarization during suspicious circumstances.
