Did you know there's a process to determine what type of notarization a signer requires? Oftentimes, it's assumed notaries are able to give all the answers and that's simply not true.

The article from the National Notary Association sheds some light on what it looks like from our side of the signing table. There is much more to it than "stamping a piece of paper".

While notaries are there to offer guidance, we not allowed to make decisions for signers or provide any kind of legal advice.

If you have questions regarding Kansas notarizations, please feel free to send me a message; I'll be happy to help you!

Even before you start a notarization, it can be challenging to determine what type of act is required. Here are tips to help Notaries.

With title fraud and seller impersonation on the rise, it serves us all to be informed.

From the office of TerriLois Mashburn, Leavenworth County Register of Deeds:

We need to firm up the centuries old Public Notary process to protect the public from getting within two hours of losing their property by fraud. No property conveyance is recorded without a notary but what happens when a notary is part of the fraud or an innocent victim of a fraud? Sad to say, currently - almost nothing.

"Title fraud, though not new, recently gained national attention when a Missouri woman attempted to fraudulently auction Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate. She falsely claimed the property was collateral for an unpaid loan, using fake loan documents and a fabricated foreclosure notice in a Memphis newspaper. The scheme unraveled when it was discovered the loan documents contained falsified NOTARIZATIONS, leading a judge to halt the sale.

This incident raises an important question: if Graceland can be targeted, is any property truly safe? Likely not."

This article is a very good read, and worth your time:

Real Estate Attorney Dax Junker discusses the rise in title fraud, and ways to detect early attempts at deed fraud. (This piece originally appeared in MortgagePoint magazine.)

As notaries, we are not bound to complete any signing that has basis for refusal and it's important to understand what situations may warrant not completing a notarization.

Notaries are required to provide services to any signer who makes a lawful request. But you should understand when it is appropriate to refuse a notarization.

The purpose of a contract is to establish the terms of the agreement by which the parties have fixed their rights and duties.
