I am getting a little nerves now. Last month I just had a Durable Power Of Attorney notarized at AAA since I have a premium membership with AAA. The notary and I had a little conversation about both being notaries and some of the crazy wording (questions) on the exam sometimes (exams change monthly). He did say to me it was a relief that I was not telling him how to do his job as some notaries have in the past. Well, afterwards when I looked at the notarized DPOA it did not have the he/she/they or (s) crossed out. My head went a little side ways with hummm, that is interesting. I actually do the cross outs per my class training. I think I may go back in a month or two and have it redone and make sure I have the cross outs. On the other hand, some examples in CA Handbook have cross outs, some don't (head explosion). In my view doing the cross outs does help prevent fraud but is it in our CA Code? That question remains to be answered. If you look at CA handbook 2017, page 15 shows cross outs, page 14 does not.
I really don't feel like possible having to going in front of a judge and try to explain "intent" for a clerical interpretation of the CA notary Code. I do have to say this is a very gray area. Anyone have a concrete answer to this Ca code question, that would be awesome! In the mean time I will continue to do cross outs to help prevent fraud :-)
