yes but still had a question on it.
§ 135. Powers and duties; in general; of notaries public who are attorneys at law.
Every notary public duly qualified is hereby authorized and empowered within and
throughout the state to administer oaths and affirmations, to take affidavits and
depositions, to receive and certify acknowledgments or proof of deeds, mortgages and
powers of attorney and other instruments in writing; to demand acceptance or payment of
foreign and inland bills of exchange, promissory notes and obligations in writing, and to
protest the same for non-acceptance or non-payment, as the case may require, and, for
use in another jurisdiction, to exercise such other powers and duties as by the laws of
nations and according to commercial usage, or by the laws of any other government or
country may be exercised and performed by notaries public, provided that when
exercising such powers he shall set forth the name of such other jurisdiction.
A notary public who is an attorney at law regularly admitted to practice in this state may,
in his discretion, administer an oath or affirmation to or take the affidavit or
acknowledgment of his client in respect of any matter, claim, action or proceeding.
For any misconduct by a notary public in the performance of any of his powers such
notary public shall be liable to the parties injured for all damages sustained by them. A
notary public shall not, directly or indirectly, demand or receive for the protest for the
non-payment of any note, or for the non-acceptance or non-payment of any bill of
exchange, check or draft and giving the requisite notices and certificates of such protest,
including his notarial seal, if affixed thereto, any greater fee or reward than seventy-five |
