π NOTARY KNOWLEDGE
One of the most common mistakes a notary can make is providing legal advice.
Many people are surprised to learn that notaries have legal limitations on what we can and cannot do.
As Texas notaries, we may identify a document by title, describe its general purpose, and ensure the notarization is completed properly. However, we cannot explain legal consequences, recommend documents, or tell a signer what they should do.
If a signer has questions about the contents of their documents, we refer them to the attorney, title company, lender, or organization that prepared the documents.
Following Texas notary law helps protect both the signer and the integrity of the notarization process.
