Grant Deed

Is it safe to notarize father's Grant Deed, Power of attorney or Caifornia Statuory will ? The beneficiary is my sister.

By law, in CA you can notarize your father's signature....

Is it safe? Under these circumstances, with your sister as beneficiary, I wouldn't do it. Grant Deed, POA *AND* Will? Send your father to a good attorney to make sure this is done properly, and then a neutral third party is involved in the notarizations. It's worth the money.

"Consult an attorney" is an out even the SOS is using when questioned on notary law. The translation for that is "You had better CYA"

So, I wouldn't do it either.

I wouldn't....in fact, I make it my personal rule not to notarize for anyone related to me by DNA or marriage. Pay the money and find another Notary you don't know to handle this.
