WHICH CONTRACTS
HAVE TO BE NOTARISED
AS PER LAW? WHAT IS
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
NOTARY PUBLIC
VERIFICATION?
DOCUMENTS WHICH NEED TO
BE NOTARIZED
   Not all contracts have to be notarized, unless
    specifically required by the state law or the
    municipal law.
   The most common types of documents that
    the law requires to be notarized to be legal
    and valid are real estate deeds.
   Other documents include adoption papers,
    wills, trusts and medical release forms.
WHO IS A NOTARY PUBLIC?
   A notary public is a person who is licensed by
    a state government to acknowledge and
    approve others’ signatures.
   Notaries are certified and trained to review
    identification papers and witness the signing of
    a contract.
DOCUMENTS WHICH NEED NOT
BE NOTARIZED
   There are a few types of documents which do
    not necessarily need to be notarized, such as,
    any private contract for sale of goods or
    services, divorce papers (subject to
    exceptions) and court papers like petitions and
    motions.
   The reason - the person signing the
    form/document is the person who drafted it.
PURPOSE OF NOTARIZATION
   The purpose is to ensure that the signature of
    the person on the document is that of the
    person whose signature it claims to be and
    thus, avoid legal hassles that may arise if a
    person denies to have signed that particular
    contract.
ADVANTAGES
   Verification of a document by a notary public is
    an inexpensive way to ensure the authenticity
    of the document.
   Also, most state governments provide that
    notaries be bonded by insurance companies.
ADVANTAGES (contd.)
   The advantage is that if the notary makes any
    mistake while verifying the documents such as
    failure to witness the actual signing or failure in
    identification, and that mistake causes one to
    lose a contract lawsuit, then the insurance
    company, who issued the bond for the notary,
    will be responsible for the damages incurred
    by the business.
