You were handling that transaction as a signing agent, not just a notary. The signer conveyed to you that one of the documents she was executing was incorrect. At that point, it was NOT your decision to make to determine whether the disclosure was significant; that was somebody else's decision.
In the unlikely event litigation ever arose over that question, you would be hard-pressed to make the case that you had no responsibility to report that to the responsible party. Put it in another context: What if the signer had told you she had just been fired, and did not have the means to meet her monthly loan payments? Would you then feel you had an obligation to report? |
