Expeditor: Perhaps I misread OP, but ...
I read it to be that the candidate/notary was appointed AIF in the document and then notarized the document. He was not the grantor/signer but rather the receivor. I may be wrong, but at least, this was my understanding.
I don't agree with that scenario. However, I believe some attorneys will notarize documents naming them as AIF, trustee, whatever general representative of the grantor/signer. It may be legal. However, IMHO, this is a bad practice as it may open them up to litigation should someone question their status. Again, jmho. |
