Yes, thanks to both Yoli and Laurie for that clarification! I've seen that in our Handbook and I'm sure it's why we've all followed that advice. And this is admittedly just a nitpick, but I believe there's a difference between what's summarized in the front section of our Handbook and what is actual law, and in most cases, I try to characterize these things accurately. [Once in a while, however, it's much easier to claim something I feel is inappropriate is actually illegal, than to get into a technical 'discussion' with a signer or client... The front section of the Handbook comes in real handy for those. Wink]

Since noticing a few of those differences, I try to work from the actual legal Code. And I've never been able to find anything in the Government Code, Civil Code, or any other Code included in our Handbook, that even references that issue in any way. So it seems like this is one more 'ruling' or bit of advice/recommendation/interpretation (or whatever we want to call it) that isn't actually The Law here.

Having said that, I completely agree with the statement and always follow that advice, because I think it's the right thing to do. I think the reason I went looking for it at all was because of a situation a long time ago where instructions stated that the provided certificate (which was compliant except for space) must be used vs. attaching a loose cert. I was surprised to not find anything. [But I visually scanned vs. rereading the whole thing, so I could have missed it.] I think I did end up stamping in the margin. Smile

It's still a pet peeve...
