| Several times. If you offer general notary services a deposition is eventually somewhere in your future. The #1 most dangerous notarial act is the POA. You would sleep better if you declined them all. But you would say those people need our help! So we go anyway, knowing it could end up being a total Sh#t show. Prequalify till the cows come home and to the client's chagrin you still have to walk away at the table/bedside because you have to be 100% certain the signer is all there. Question, how many of you would notarize a POA for the Potus for example? I'm saying decline them all but be smart. |
