Notarization is a legal process that adds an extra layer of security and authenticity to important documents. Here’s why you might want to consider having your documents notarized:
- Proof of Identity: A notary public verifies your identity, ensuring that the person signing the document is who they claim to be.
- Legal Validity: Notarization can make a document legally enforceable. It can be used as evidence in a court of law.
Deters Fraud: By adding a layer of security, notarization can deter fraud and forgery.
- Increases Trustworthiness: A notarized document is more likely to be trusted by other parties, such as banks, lenders, or government agencies.
Common Documents That Require Notarization:
- Real Estate Documents: Deeds, mortgages, purchase agreements, power of attorney
- Legal Documents: Affidavits, wills, living wills, powers of attorney
- Business Documents: Contracts, articles of incorporation, bylaws, powers of attorney
- Financial Documents: Loan applications, retirement plan documents, trust documents
