I have two questions:
Question one: I have seen a few jobs that require two witnesses. One company said I could be one witness, and for me to BRING SOMEONE FOR THE OTHER. I declined. Can I be a witness if the witness signature does not need to be notarized?
2nd question
What is being confirmed by liberity, and how do I do that?
Blockquote
The notary being a witness depends on the state the deed is being filed in. There are four or five states that require a witness or witnesses for the deed. Some do allow the notary to act as a witness. I would check with the state the paperwork will be filed in for clarification. I don’t understand your second question. It looks like you either attached or quoted something but it didn’t come through.
@rmevans5, Building upon @takenotenotaryservices previous response, it’s crucial to understand that the ability for a notary to act as a witness is entirely dependent on the specific state’s regulations where the document is being notarized. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you thoroughly review the statutes and guidelines of your state to gain a clear understanding of the legal requirements and permissible actions. For instance, in Florida, we are permitted to serve as witnesses as private citizens; however, a key point to remember is that this is only valid if we are not notarizing our own signature on the document. Personally, to maintain impartiality and limit potential legal complications, I make a conscious decision not to act as a witness in any notarial actions. I believe it’s essential to uphold my role solely as a Public Official when executing notarial acts, which helps to safeguard my position and minimize any potential liabilities in legal situations.
