What Do Notaries Actually Do
Notaries are the unsung heroes of document verification, acting as impartial third party witnesses that verify a document’s authenticity and prevents fraud. A notary not only certifies documents with an official seal and signature, but they can also administer oaths and affirmations as well as take affidavits. Their seal provides another layer of authenticity, and they are admissible in court. All of this enhances the credibility of documents.
The seal and signature of a notary isn’t just accepted in your area, or even in your state, but they are accepted worldwide. This means that international business transactions can be notarized, and this will add to the credibility of the contents of the document. Those signing such documents will have done so freely, rather than having been coerced into doing so.
How This Affects Real Estate Transactions
Because real estate transactions are so important, both financially speaking as well as the importance of property ownership, having a notary on staff provides an easy way to verify identities and ensure the integrity of the entire process. This identity verification is crucial for legally binding documents such as property deeds, mortgage agreements, disclosures, and more. While some documents need to be notarized, having them all notarized provides an increased level of security and fraud protection.
At first glance, notary services seem like an unnecessary relic from times past in Nassau County, Hempstead, Hewlett, Valley Stream, Long Island, NY, and the surrounding areas. But what it really does is provide important safeguards and enhancing legally binding documents, including real estate transactions that our team handles at the Law Offices of Aaron I. Katsman, P.C.
