This could be one of those state-specific things. I'm not aware of any CA notary law that says anything about the date on the docs. If I saw a situation like that, I'd ask someone (i.e. lender, tc) about that particular set of docs, if possible, but I don't consider the content of the documents my responsibilty. Au contraire!! My responsibility is that the signing and notarizing dates are correct. It's up to the lender what dates (or anything else) they want to put on the docs, except for the notary certificate area. (And of course, borrowers' signature date, if it's being notarized.) |
