I'm proud of you, Yoli! Companies need to realize that their "policies" no matter how well intended they might seem, are just plain WRONG. In this case, Yoli did exactly what she was supposed to do. She informed them their practice broke that law. They knew it... but they chose to ignore it. And yet, they ASKED again and refused to work with her as a result. By CA law, just asking a notary to do something illegal...if they know it's illegal, is a CRIME. These people are getting away with criminal behavior. Sure, it might seem a little petty.... nothing to get too uptight about. But consider this. If OC Title is willing to push this policy...one that seems so minor...what ELSE are they doing against the law?
I hope that any notaries out there who may have complied with a request like this realize that they were dealing with an illegal request. We are NOT employees of these companies.
Do you hear that title companies, lenders and signing services? For the most part, we are INDEPENDENT business owners. You can't have the benefits of an employee without the responsibility. You can't keep asking us to do something illegal just because it fits some arbitrary policy you deem "for everyone's good". Illegal is illegal and it needs to stop.
IMO... this situation needs to be brought to the attention of the state authorities and TCs by multiple individuals. Yoli tried and basically got told to talk to a lawyer. I understand why.... but NotRotters have a reputation for making some pretty wild tidal waves when we group together. |
