I think so - just had something notarized last week and they asked me an oath that pretty much says that I state who i say I am.

there isn't a real formal way of doing it except you need to state your name. to get notary to stamp it is harder to find. it needs to be signed by you in front or the notary who is doing the stamping.\nif you have a commerce bank account you can get that service for free!

To have it properly notorized your parents should sign it in the presence of the notary.   It should not be necessary unless you are afraid your parents will deny that they signed it.

Depending on the document it does not have to be notarized to be "legal." In fact, a contract does not have to be written to be binding. (This is the case in every state.) If you are talking about a simple agreement between two people, having it notarized can help prove the the people involved actually signed it, but won't help with much else.\n\nHowvere, notarized or not, an agreement can be unenforceable for a variety of other reasons. (The real quetion about an agreement is whether it is enforceable. It doesn't really make sense to refer to ask whether it can be made "legal.")

Very rarely unless the following conditions exist:  (1) it is a cause I truly support; (2) I know or trust the person asking for my signature; and (3) I have actually read the petition and proposed legislation.  I never sign anything presented by a professional signature gatherer.

All it means to "notarize" something is that a person, a "notary", has to watch the person sign the document.  The person signing has to provide proof that they are who they say they are.  The point is to prove that the person who is believed to have signed the document actually did.\n\nThere is no legal age one must reach before they can have their signature notarized.  Where it may become more complicated is that the daughter must have some sort of ID or to be able to provide definite proof of identity.  Some notaries MAY take a school ID, but some may require a state issued ID.\n\nThis document can then provided to the court when a change of custody is requested.  This is the other reason age does not matter.  All the daughter is doing is stating a preference as to where she wants to live.  The court still gets to decide what is in the best interest of the child.

Probably not! They usually require some sort of retainer letter to be signed with a certain dollar amount enclosed!

Your "question" is both incoherent and contains mainly opinions stated as fact.\n\nLet's start by pointing out that it is standard practice for an attorney to be a notary. Before you call somebody unethical you damn well better have a factual basis for doing so. You have nothing.\n\nI notice you make much of your mother having the quitclaim deed singed "for her own personal gain." I take it your regard people who do things for personal gain as scum. Well then kid just what the hell are you doing this for? For YOUR personal gain? Guess what that makes you?

In certain occupations it is necessary for you to be a notary public (IE. car dealers use notaries, court clerks, etc.).  Notaries are used when a signature needs to be certified as genuine.  Most commonly used for the transfer of ownership of property or affirmation by the signature holder.\n\nIn my job as a bail bond agent, it is not necessary but very helpful to have a notary license since we must file quit claim deeds and other legal documents.\n\nIt is also an additional (but small) source of income.  You can only charge a fixed amount for each signature.  The fee varies from state to state.  It may be helpful to you if you are working in a field where this would be useful.

A contract can be oral or written or implied.  Notarization only attests that the person signed is the one whose name appears on the document, but it doesn't make it any more enforceable.  If you have a signature on a contract, the original of that is best evidence and can be an exhibit to a complaint for breach of contract.\n\nThat lady doesn't know what she's talking about and she will be quite surprised to be served with a summons and complaint.  Be sure to include the costs of serving her with summons & complaint in your damages, as well as any court filing fees, and a prayer for pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.  Chances are she wil pay you the full amount and then some, just to avoid the 10% interest charges that attach to a judgment.

There are two different answers [pertaining to a WILL) that can address your question: (A) In order for a Will to be considered valid; It must be witnesses by the Testator [person who dies leaving a Will], the intended Executor (expressly or appointed by the Testator, to carry out the Testator's directions concerning the dispositions made under his will), and a Notary Public who will witness the signing of the Testator and the Executor.  The Notary Public will then Notarize the document to be a "legal instrument" (the attorney is also present).  (B)The execution of the Will is only after the death of the Testator.  The proceeds are disbursed via the attorney's office to the Executor, provided no one contests the contents/fair share of the Will.  If the WILL is contested, the case is handed over to the Probate Court, who will determine (a) whether the Will was executed in accordance with legal requirements (b) to determine the Will's validity. The Probate Court will thereafter determine the settlement of the decedent's estate. Please note: A Will can also contain an Addendum's, whereby the Testator has set-up Trusts Funds  not outlined in the WILL itself, [for the benefit of another], etc. Now, if you were present at a reading of the WILL  and a Trust was mentioned, this document will outline further disbursements of the Testator's wishes, with or without contingencies.   I hope I've answered your question(s).

A notary public is someone who is certified by the government to verify people's identities.  Basically, a notary public will "notarize" a document, vouching that they either know you personally or you provided sufficient documentation to establish your identity.  It serves as proof that you are the one who did, in fact, sign a document.\n\nYou can fill out the document beforehand, but don't sign it.  The notary must witness the signature.\n\nNotaries public are all over the place.  Many times a company will have several working in the offices, since that saves on the cost of hiring someone else to do it.  Look in the phone book or even just ask around.  Also, many local government positions (like register of deeds, etc.) also function as notaries.\n\nHeck, you can even get certified to do it yourself and maybe make a few dollars if you know many people who need the services.

Most places make you come down and sign for them in person. Some make you pay a printing fee.

different states have different laws regarding becoming a notary public.  but regardless of the differences in procedure, all of the states require you to go through the court, since as a notary, you would be an agent of the court.\n\nthe registration process will probably involve you going to the courthouse and getting an application.  In my state this is done at the county courthouse in the superior court clerk's office (georgia).  they will give you an application that you gotta fill out and submit.  you may also have to submit a utility bill or copy of drivers license as proof of residence.  also, they might make other notaries vouch for you by putting their stamp on your application.\n\nfor the best information, call your county courthouse.
