Whether we are taking on new endeavors in becoming a Notary Public or are a seasoned Notary, we need to be aware of the duality of the role we play. On the one hand, we answer to the dictation of the State by which we are appointed and on the other, to the employer for whom the majority perform their notary duties.
Where once a knowledge of the very basic concepts of the role of Notary Public was enough, today, the public we serve demands more. They demand the utmost in knowledge, integrity and discretion. Ignorance is and has never been an adequate excuse for not performing ones duties with the full knowledge of the task and of the laws that dictate a Notary Public's actions.

State vs Employer-Who Dictates my duties? |
|
Written by Linda Kassis

|
As I travel across the state of Iowa, speaking with and instructing Iowa Notaries Public, I hear stories of challenges encountered by our Notaries. Due to the lack of training provided in the past and the lack of ongoing training, Notaries, their employers and the public are often misinformed or maintain many misconceptions of the role of the Notary Public and who dictates their role, their responsibilities and the procedures by which they perform their duties.

Customer vs non-customer
In my classes, I receive a lot of questions about this particular portion of the Iowa Notarial Act. I thought maybe to break it down and clarify the information presented in class by taking you back to the very place this information comes from and allow you and/or your employer to make your own evaluation of the information dictated within the Iowa Notarial Code 9E.

Power of Attorney-Don't wait until it is too late |
|
Written by Linda Kassis
|
|
There are several different types of power of attorney documents. Some are for medical power of attorney and others are for general personal affairs.
Many families are waiting until something happens before putting a power of attorney into place with their children or a trusted individual. Setting up a power of attorney before you become hospitalized or deemed incompetent does not mean you are turning your affairs over to someone now. They can be set to take effect upon you no longer being capable of handling your affairs and not until.
