A notary public in the United States is a public agent appointed by the state government to provide services to the public in non-litigious legal matters. Unlike a lawyer who specializes in civil law, a notary public is not qualified to represent individuals in litigation.
Some of the responsibilities that a notary has include:
- Monitor the signing of minutes to prevent fraud and verify the authenticity of documents.
- Manage affirmations and oaths.
- Receive legal and sworn statements.
- Perform scripture checks.
These state officials act as impartial observers during the execution of various contracts, drafting of documents, signing and authentication processes, as well as in legal procedures aimed at preventing fraud in real estate and financial transactions.
Before participating in any contract, act or legal event that requires their intervention, they offer advice to avoid litigation and unnecessary expenses.
The signing of any document before a notary provides the certainty that the contract is final, not susceptible to change and legally valid.
Notaries reduce unnecessary risks by ensuring that contracts meet the requirements established by current laws during drafting.
