"Attaching a loose form costs an extra recording fee if I don't use theirs."
That's not your problem!! You're letting the title company dictate your notary law. - it's on you to make sure the proper certs are used.
If someone signs in a representative capacity (as in this thread) we in FL have a cert for that. How do you know? The same way you know they took title in another name - they represent to you that they are president, managing member, whatever - their authority has already been cleared by the title company. They tell you their representative capacity and that's what you put in the proper cert.
I'm sorry LD but that's the law. You do NOT let title (or anyone else) tell you how to have it done! And how much extra is it? $10? Big deal.
I hope they're at least providing the most current notary forms (personal appearance v online notarization) - and if not I hope you're conforming the certs or attaching certs. But honestly, this is YOUR domain - the accuracy of the certificate is all on you.. |
