Why do you need a notary

Notaries by definition are public officials used to witness contract and documents to make sure that all is properly signed by the identified party. They also handle oaths and authenticate documents as well.

Documents that notaries handle are as follows but not limited to power of attorneys, wills, contracts, mortgages, and child support agreements , just to name a few. This is favored because this is a protocol that helps combate fraud and identity theft and in some cases depending on the document is required by state law. Utlizing your notary will then make the document legitimate and legally binding. However, documents do have a right of recission which would require another notary seal.

Also with the progression of the times notaries are now allowed to perform electronic notaries. Please be advised that this is not accessable by all 50 states in the US, and not eligible for all documents to be notarized. Please be sure to confirm with your notary / loan signing agent professional to confirm and any other additional assistance.
