I did not see any information in relation to this…
I had some training recently that suggested putting “guarantor” information from closings in my notary book as an entry in case there are ever issues further down the road…how can that be done since I can not get their signature, when they are not present at the closing and I am not RON certified?
Been doing this for over 30 years and have no idea what you’re talking about.
Best guess: Just add a ‘note’ as to who hired you for the job & the TC docs were returned to. ???
If you did not have to notarize their signature, why would it be entered into your notary ledger?
Not all training is great training.
THAT is exactly why I am asking…
I don’t do it. Should I? Doubt it. I put order notes in my journal. Should something ever come up about an order. I don’t even know what that suggestion means.
By order notes, would that be in the comments? Or do you include separate sheets of paper with notes?
I use a Post-it note and make notes during the signing and then I attach that in my journal.
There is no reason to worry about anyone’s capacity as guarantor if you are not notarizing the signature and no reason to enter it into your ledger. If I had to notarize their signature and it was someone who was not the borrower, I might add “as guarantor” to the description of the transaction, but this is the lender’s category and should be of no concern to the notary.
