I agree with LJCA, however I'm always careful to not be the one to supply them with that verbiage or tell them what to say, so I'm not committing UPL. I'll go only as far as telling them that there's a document called something like copy certification by document custodian, which they can find online. It usually takes them to an NNA doc, which makes me cringe, but it works. (I would never notarize a copy of a vital record that only had a signature on it.)
One more legal technicality about the statement that William was asked to sign... Our state notary law also says that we cannot use the title of "Notary Public" for anything outside the completion of a notarial act. I've seen some similar forms in loan packages and I might sign some, depending on how they're worded, but I'd change my title to "signing agent", or something else that doesn't have any part of "Notary Public" in it. |
