Bonds

A gentleman bought some real estate some thirty years ago.
He has since paid it off and the bank lost proof of payoff. They settled
for him buying a bond to guarantee the payoff and he is instructed
to have it notarised. The bond is being sent overnight and has asked
me to notarise it ASAP. Your opinion on how best to serve this client.
And the best way to do the notary. Thank you, Bob.

As a notary, you need not be concerned with the document, only the notary certificate, document is complete, ID of the signer, that the signer understands the document and is signing under their own free will. If all the above conditions are met, you can notarize the signature of the signer. If the document contains a jurat, be sure to put the signer under oath so they will swear (or affirm) to the contents.

Obviously, follow all the guidelines and statutes for CA to properly notarize the document.
