Sign for signings companies. Bancserv for example. If you ever encounter a dilemma do not hesitate to ask. Good luck!

SC is an attorney only state. Notaries cannot do loan signings there.

The best advise I can give you is to spell advice correctly. That's one of the pet peeves here and among many things, learn your state laws upside down, read message #33325, read, read, read all posts and use the orange search button. There is a wealth of info here.

Check with your state's notary division to see what you can do.
SC is an attorney only state as far as loan closings go.

Re: New Notary - update on Laura's book

Oops - the latest edition of Laura Vestenan's book can be found on her website.

www.ProfessionalNotary.com

Amazon, apparently, does not have the newest version.

So WHY did you become a notary?

SC is an attorney-only state for loan signings; so hopefully, you'll respect the honored history and responsibilities of the office by serving the public with intergrity and professionalism.

Good luck, and visit this forum often - you'll learn a lot.
