There are a number of offending Title Companies out there that claim "just in case" and include blank certificates to be notarized. Some even attach "helpful" stickynotes saying "Just use the borrower's name, not the non-obligated spouse" or "Please use both husband's and wife's names."
Bottom line: It is _probably_ illegal in your state to give somebody a notarial certificate that could be attached to _any_ random document. Just think of it as signing your name to an otherwise blank check.... |
