>>> I am not notarizing the mortgage, I am notarizing that the borrowers signature ... <<<
This is true and I apologize for not be explicit in my description. The point is, that in some states, like Florida, we cannot notarize a signature on a document that is incomplete or blank. I was given some legal advice about documents that state "attached" or "made a part of" in their bodies that if the attachments were missing, then the document would be incomplete. Florida notaries are to scan the documents for completeness. We don't scan for correctness, as we more than likely haven't a clue to what is right or wrong. |
