Craigslist Ad looking for a notary! Asking illegal notarial
I was looking at craigslist and saw this ad:
notary public - $500 (Whittier)
Looking for a creative notary public, nothing illegal at all. Call -------------------
So I called Tom. He said he is in a difficult situation. He is trying to get 2 liens reconveyed but the person that needs to sign the reconveyance is no where to be found.
Ughhhh yes, this is very illegal!

And, you know what? For that kind of money, Tom will probably find someone soon.
So, so sad.

Really sad. :(
I hope he doesn't for the sake of the notary.

Re: Really sad. :(
Why would you worry about a notary getting caught doing something completely illegal? It exposes another shiester and gets rid them.

I was once in the county recorders office, and overheard the people ahead of me. The people in front of me, were have a deed transferred, where the other party (a spouse who deserted) was no where to be found, and the county was able to do this, using certain language etc. that allowed them to sign on behalf of the person who was uncooperating/not responding, etc. I suppose it depends on the situation of why the other person doesn't want to be found. But he should defintitely contact the county and see what they can do to assist.

I would think that this would need to be done in court
with an order from a judge, not just using some trick language that is recommended at a recording office or by a county clerk. IMHO, what you overheard these people doing is taking possession of property illegally. Why are county clerks giving legal advice in CA anyway? Isn't that UPL? The court clerks here can't even tell you what form you need to file something, they send you to the library section in the court to do your own research or tell you to seek legal advice from an attorney.

Andy's business is listed as "suspended" by CA SOS in the online section. The earlier business, with the same name, is listed as "dissolved." fwiw
