"We can use a cert from another state as long as it is not a Ca property amd contains nothing prohibited by Ca."
Technically, this isn't entirely correct. The CA notary law on this says that we can use an acknowledgment certificate "required" in another state on documents to be filed there, but you're correct about the part that excludes anything prohibited in CA (like certifying capacity). I know this is a detail that's often ignored, but unless I have personal knowledge of the prescribed wording on acknowledgments from other states (if any exists), I always just replace the verbiage.
[And, of course, all jurats completed in CA, regardless of where the property is or where the document will end up, must use the CA verbiage.] |
