Limited POA...I'm confuse

Can some one help? those are the words " On this ...day of,.......personally came...and I have made known to them the contents of this agreement and having personally satisfied myself on the basic of sufficent evidence that he/she/they are the persons signing above executed the same as his/her/ their volutary act and deed.

I would say ack but, I'm not sure.

I would attach a CA All-purpose Acknowledgment unless the property was in another state, in which case I would use this language as it does not appear to require anything we are not allowed.

Caution!

If that is the wording in its entirity, DO NOT NOTARIZE IT! You cannot notarize your own signature!

"... I have made known to them ... satisfied myself ..." are red flags.

The only safe way to handle this is to call the firm that contacted you.

You need to seperate the two acts: Making known and ...

... notarizing.

I'm not sure where the wording "I have made known to them" comes from, but it MAY get you in trouble.

Attaching an ack with the wording acceptible to your state may keep you out of trouble.

this is in a GMAC package - I have never seen it anywhere else. I'm not sure the ... "I have made known ..." is acceptable in any state but I surely have never used this ack form - I just use my PA compliant one.

If it's signed and notarized in CA, then it would need to have a CA compliant notary certificate.
If I'm wrong on this, since I am not in CA, please correct me, but I would think the notary cert would have to comply with whatever state the doc is signed/notarized in. JMO

You're a little wrong Bonnie...

There is a clause deep in the handbook that allows a CA notary to notarize other forms for other states.... if they don't ask us to certify a capacity or other prohibited... aw I forget what... the deal is if it's out of state and a good form you can do it.

But this form is a bit over the edge... so using a CA form is a nice solution. And blaming it on the CA law ain't so bad either.

Re: You're a little wrong Bonnie...

Thanks for the clarification Gary! Thought cert she was asking about sounded a little off, but as I said, not familiar with CA law! Glad to hear I wasn't the only one that thought it sounded a little 'over the edge'.
Have a great day and a better TG!
