A notary public is a public official who is authorized by the government to witness and certify the signing of legal documents, administer oaths and affirmations, and perform other legal formalities. The primary function of a notary public is to verify the identity of the signatory and to ensure that they are signing the document of their own free will and without duress or coercion.
Some of the common documents that require notarization include deeds, wills, power of attorney agreements, affidavits, and loan documents. Notarization provides an additional layer of protection against fraud and helps to ensure that the documents being signed are legally binding.
Mash Frouhar and Aisha Antoine-Francis are our firm’s notary publics who will be able to assist you with verifying the identity of the signatory and witnessing signatures. Our team may also be required to keep a record of the notarization and affix their official seal to the document.
