It is an
unfortunate reality in these busy times that signature acknowledgements are
often looked upon as an impedance to getting a transaction completed. This is
never more evident than in situations involving a quick turn-around on formstransmitted long distance for execution. Although a proper
acknowledgment is sometimes greatly undervalued, it is one of the most
critical protections available to an injured party. Because the acknowledgement is so important, notary standards must be
taken very seriously. If not, there can be repercussions not only
for the notary, but also for the person who may have suffered damages. Although notary standards are dictated by state law, they are pretty
much universal throughout the country. In general, the notary must require a
personal appearance by the signer, obtain sufficient identification,
determine that the signer has
the capacity to understand the document, and that the signer
is
willing to execute it. Even though the specificity of such actions
may vary by each state, there are common ethical considerations in
performing these duties. Whether the vessel transaction is a complex purchase arrangement or a simple
refinance, timing is usually an important issue. This is an inherent
aspect
of our industry and a seasoned professional will accept it without question.
However, such professional also knows how easily an expedient quick fix
can turn into a major issue should the document ever become contested.
Accordingly, it is always a good practice to take the necessary
time in obtaining a proper acknowledgement, even though it may create a
temporary inconvenience.
