<<< It would be very interesting if LKT/CA could provide a publication or legal case saying that more than one name necessarily means more than one capacity. Such a publication or legal case would be especially interesting for those of us in states who are supposed to spell out capacities in our certificates.>>>
Name and title are separated by a comma, as in Mary Beth Smith, Trustee...or Mary Beth Smith, M.D.. What's after a comma is the capacity (i.e. Trustee, M.D., etc.). We don't use a.k.a. in CA. If only ONE person is the signer, if the cert says Mary Beth Smith, Mary B. Smith then Mary Beth Smith is signing in the CAPACITY
Which pronoun in the cert would be correct for the name variations of one signer in the same cert?
Should the cert read:
On Jan.7, 2017, before me, Jane E. Doe, Notary Public, personally appeared Mary Beth Smith, Mary B. Smith, M. Beth Smith, Mary Smith, M. Smith, and M.B. Smith, who proved to me on the basis of satisfactory evidence to be the PERSON whose name IS subscribed to the within instrument and acknowledged to me the SHE.....etc.
OR should the cert read:
On Jan.7, 2017, before me, Jane E. Doe, Notary Public, personally appeared Mary Beth Smith, Mary B. Smith, M. Beth Smith, Mary Smith, M. Smith, and M.B. Smith, who proved to me on the basis of satisfactory evidence to be the PERSONS whose NAMES ARE subscribed to the within instrument and acknowledged to me that THEY.....etc.
At such time that you have to account for capacity in cert as a Vermont NP, then YOU can research such a case study to justify your actions, as only YOU can answer to a judge for your own commission.
