Georgia Notary(s)
Im looking for other GA notary's in the Atlanta metro area to network with. I receive several calls a month for signings that I cannot complete at this time & would love to refer the work to others..(even though GA is an Attorney only State)
Thanks

Yeah, how do you manage to do loan signings in an attorney-only state?

Good question. There are other types of 'signings' available that are NOT loan docs... but I really doubt that there is anything remotely resembling volume for these.

Do you all suppose the attorney could be present via telephone to cover the requirement? I had a signing once where an attorney was supposed to be on the phone, and did call in, during it all. I'm not sure why it was required on that occasion, but I think it was an out-of-state property (and I'm in MD). Just wondering if this is one way around it all?

Yes yes yes, GA is an attorney only state, however that doesnt stop me from getting atleast 5-7 calls toward the middle and end of the month. Im busy doing with other business matters to do them at this time. Most companies that call always ask if I can refer someone to them to do the signings so I thought Id post here to see if anyone in the Atlanta metro area is interested.. Didnt think it would be a big deal..
contact is [e-mail address]
Thanks

In other words
You're looking for someone to do illegal loan signings? And admitting that you do illegal loan signings? Or are you talking about some other sort of notarizations?

Re: It's not a big deal. . .are you AWE Enterprises?
If so, then you see it's not that hard to figure out who someone is. All you need to happen is for a Ga. Bar Member to read this board and send you an email, and bam, you are bolted to the wall.
If not, understand that I did one search on AWE ent georgia and turned that up. Ga. Bar Members are a heck of a lot smarter than I am.
Just don't read or respond to questions if it's not that important and "poof" we'll disappear.

I hope that no one has actually fallen for this. The big problem here is that an Attorney will have to sign both the Security Deed and the Georgia Waiver of Borrower's Rights (among several other documents) in order to make this transaction legal. The question of whether an individual is a Georgia attorney can be answered very easily by visiting http://www.gabar.org. The other problem is that, although the person who posted here seems to be working under the delusion that getting individuals to commit such an illegal act is no big deal, it really is. Georgia doesn't allow Attorneys to "appear" by phone for closings. The Attorney must be physically present at any such signing. And, if our friend here is working in "cahoots" with a Georgia Attorney to carry this off, it's bound to become obvious eventually... Mark my words!

This guy / gal doesn't get it - you just don't post your bright idea to break the law and solicit others to do so as well...this person with the bad attitude wrote me the following - I added the xxxxx's bc no need to post that person's name. Might be a lie.
>>Hello Brenda,
I read your response to my post on not/rot. & no Im
not AWE Enterprises.. Dispite the laws, companies
continue to call for signings, when presented with the
fact that GA is att only, they state the borrower has
the option of choosing and they sign off on it. So I
hope that settles it. I can now see why XXXXXXXX
advised me not post on that board and she left it.
Have a good day<<<<<

If the lawyer from Georgia says:
**The big problem here is that an Attorney will have to sign both the Security Deed and the Georgia Waiver of Borrower's Rights (among several other documents) in order to make this transaction legal.**
There is a good chance it is the truth. Georgia notaries should research it for themselves and not rely on what's stated on this board, or AWE's non-concerned attitude.
It really bothers me that this person would solicit for notaries to do signings which are non-binding, illegal, or however you want to say it. I would hope that notaries would not be blatant law breakers or solicitors of going against the law. This is a great point of reference for taking this to the legislature of ANY state. The theme is that notaries will do anything for a buck. It should not be swept under the rug as if there's no big deal here.
Do your own research and find out for yourself what you can and cannot do. Consult with an attorney or read the laws for your state, but do NOT go against your lawmakers.
We may not like it, it may reduce our ability to earn, but it's the law. If you are reading this, you are probably a notary. Do not ignore the law.
