Proper Notarizations

          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 forms transmitted 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.
