I'm only concerned about that in split signing situations where I'm the first notary, which I see pretty often for some reason. (I probably didn't make it clear 'cause I kept rewriting my post... )
Usually those are from an out-of-state title co with pre-printed certs that may be compliant for the state where the property is (and the other signer), so I leave those and add a loose cert for the person I'm meeting with. It's then up to the second notary to cross out my borrower's name on the pre-printed cert, so I like to make it pretty clear what's what. But yeah, it probably is a bit of overkill. |
