Deed of Trust, Virginia
I have a citibank deed of trust question. On page two there is are two places to notarize. I Notarized the first one but the second one says:
The person signing below certifies that this deed of trust was prepared on behalf of citibank, a party in the Deed of Trust.
______________________________ _______________________________________
(print name)
Commonwealth of VIRGINIA, county of CHESAPEAKE CITY ss:
The foregoing instrument was acknowledged befor me on this day 06/04/2005 By: _________
______________________________________________ (Person Acknowledging)
My Commission Expires __________________________--
____________________________________
Notary Public
Now the problem is that citibank has sent this back to me to Notarize. Who signs to certify this deed of trust and who is to notarize it? Seems to me someone at citibank should certify and someone in the presence of the signer should notarize. I call NNA and they confirmed I shold not Notarize!!!!!!!!!
HELP!

You most definitely should not sign, if the person is not in front of you to prove who they are.
Alot of companies will try to get you to notarize items illegally, watch your back you could lose your commission.

Ronald - It sounds like you have someone leading you blindly. (They do not know what to do). Educate them on the VA law this way:
Let Citibank know that you are not going to notarize an acknowledgment with out the person in front of you - and since you are not legally allowed to notarize a blank certificate - you can not notarize the document. Encourage them to use their in-house notary or one that is close to their office.
If you should be threatened with a doc in your fee, remind them that you have performed the assignment to your legal limits and with utmost professionalism and you expect the full agreed upon fee.
