- Title
- Notaries Public, recognize that licensed professionals may notarize documents as part of their profession
- Description
Existing law prohibits a notary public from acknowledging a document that is required for a transaction in which the notary has a financial interest.
This bill would explicitly recognize that this prohibition does not apply to professionals such as attorneys, accountants, or real estate brokers, or their employees, who may lawfully notarize the documents that are a necessary part of the professional services for which they are paid.
