I know here in FL, once the notarized document leaves our hands we are not allowed to make any changes/corrections to that certificate without revisiting the signer and having them re-acknowledge the signature or re-sign the affidavit, basically an entire new notarization dated the current date. In your situation, with your father-in-law's dementia, the notary may not be able to re-notarize and you may have to get a court order having a guardian/conservator appointed to handle his affairs. I've skimmed the Nevada statute and can't find any prohibition on correcting certificates, but since the notarization was almost two years ago, I know if it were me I would not just make a correction...too much time has gone by.
Did you check the Nevada Secretary of State's office to see if this notary is still commissioned? Because if they are not they can't help you at all. I'd suggest contacting the Nevada SOS and getting their input. I honestly think you're going to be better off in the long run having your husband appointed Guardian (or Conservator, whatever they have there).
Good luck. |
