A SS hires a notary to do an assignment, which is a CA power of attorney. SS assumes notary knows their stuff when notarizing this important document. However, notary makes quite a few errors.
1) Doesn't carefully inspect the ID for accuracy and that the person signing the document closely resembles the person signing the document and
2) The signature on the ID is a match for the signature in the journal where the notarization is recorded.
3) Fails to get a fingerprint, as we know one is required when signing/notarizing a POA document.
Querie:
This involves the transfer of real estate, so
Who bears the cost of damages, the notary, the SS, both?
Who should lose their ability to continue operating in their capacities?
Who should be fined and prosecuted?
