The notary would usually not have a financial interest in the transaction. He would just be witness to the transaction.

You need a lawyer if you want to make sure it's done right.  I mean, no offense, but it looks like you don't even know how to spell the word "legal".  Real property law is filled with hard and fast rules that must be adhered to, especially when it comes to recording the conveyance document.\n\nBut if you insist on doing it yourself, then look for legal forms for deeds, leases, easements or whatever you need.  You can try office supply stores, copy services or the internet.

I have not found a reference to land law specifically. A name-and-arms clause in a will required the beneficiary to take on the name and arms (crest, coat of arms in heraldry) of the testator.\n\nhttp://www.citizenlaw.com/pdf/n.pdf#search='name%20and%20arms%20clause'\n\nScroll down to name and arms.

A notary only verifies the identity of the person signing the document.  If two signatures are required, a notary can't be used in lieu of two witnesses.

You have to sue and then part of the settlement if you win, would be covered up t0 $15K.  The information is not provided to you because you are going to sue, the notary would contact the bond company not you.\n\nI would make sure you have a valid case against the notary, technically unless they notarized a document that was forged or have caused a delay for not properly notarizing your document you really have no case.\n\nMost acts of fraud related to a notarazation are from people who were not notarys', therefore had no bond or E & O insurance.  As long as the notary was comissioned, and you did actually sign they have not done anything wrong.  Generally the National Notary Association teached notary's to avoid explaining a document, and suggest they refer the signer to the person who prepared the document.  If that was an escrow officer, and they were the notary, it further hurts your case.  As they take instructions from the buyer/seller or borrower.  If the notary, notarized a document and determined you were willing to sign, checked your ID, and recorded it in thier Journal she has acted under the authority of her notary comission.\n\nIf you feel a notary was involved in tricking you into signing something, that is not how notarizing works.  You are screened to be the person as printed on the document or the notary will acknowledge the signer appropriatley.  If you speak english, are signing willingly, and demonstrate an ability to understand what is going on, they have done thier duty.  It is not a notary's job to read you the document, explain the contents, advise you on signing or not signing, they only are witnessing a signature and checking the ID of the person who is before them.\n\nNotary fraud is only applicable if they took part in executing a document and not having verified the signer, or the signers mental capacity/language capacity.

if you want to know who owned the property, check with the municipality.  if you need a notarized copy attesting to that, the town should know who notarized the sale.  they might not have a copy but you can try and find if the notary is still in business and has the records

Generally, it's not a good idea to have someone serve double duty, like being both a notary and a trustee or guardian. While it may or may not be legal in your state, it often causes problems.\n\nAs far as making changes, your best bet is to re-create the document from scratch, with the changes you want. Cross-outs are another area where, even if not actually invalid, often cause problems.

You are legally allowed to sign for another person, such as a spouse or are representing a company etc.  It could also be a signature granting permission with the proxy being a witness that permission was granted in the first place.

If it is only notarized it is not valid.  It also needs two or three witnesses who saw him sign the will.  After that, it does not need to be recorded but you need to put it where it can be retrieved when needed.  That is, not in Dad's safety deposit box.

the signature must be witness by two people, and notarized.  then file it in a safe place, preferrably a copy should be left with an attorney. then yes, it is legal.

There are three major instruments of concern here. \n\nThe instrument of title, which is the deed, \nThe instrument of debt, which is the Promissory Note\nand\nThe instrument of security, the Mortgage, tying the Note to the Deed. \n\nNow, if you're only on the Deed, there's not a lot to executing a QuitClaim Deed to your son. \n\nIf you are also on a Mortgage, that by itself doesn't really doesn't matter much, as the mortgage alone does not make it your personal obligation, so the Deed takes care of that as far as you are concerned.  You should list in the QCD "subject to the existing mortgage to X filed in book Y at page Z", although it's not strictly speaking necessary. \n\nHowever... if you signed the Promissory Note, signing a QuitClaim Deed will still leave you personally liable if the debt is not paid.  It is possible that they would release you from the Note, if the Loan to Value ratio is low enough, but there's no real reason they should.  \n\nIf they're not going to do that, you'd be unwise to give away your right to the secured property. \n\nThe way to get your name cleared from the debt is if your son re-finances, and then you'd be safe signing a QCD at the same time.

Of course you could win the case in court.  The problem is collection after the judgement.  All you'll have is a legal judgement, the person can still stiff you and refuse to pay it.  I would require a form of collateral.  If your friend owns property, with a judgement you could put a lien on it so he/she couldn't sell it or even refi because the title isn't clean.  Get the letter notarized too, the notary would be another witness.  If you have any doubts, don't do it.

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.
