Most
reputable title, escrow or lenders are now requiring notaries to have an error
and omission policy to be an approved independent contractor. Recently, they are requiring at least
$100,000 limits. Why? Well, this insulates their liability by at
least $100,000 before their policy will kick in and take effect. Wouldn't you like to have a $100,000 cushion
on someone else's (the notary) dollar?
Of course you would, this is a great business decision.

The Maryland man whose quest to become a notary public turned into a
Supreme Court case died on June 9, 2007, 46 years after the court
validated his refusal to take a state oath requiring him to declare a
belief in God. Roy Torcaso, an avowed atheist, worked for a Bethesda,
Md. construction company as a bookkeeper in 1959. His boss asked him to become a notary public.Torcaso’s legal
battles began when he refused to swear to a state oath before
Montgomery County Circuit Court Clerk Clayton Watkins professing the
existence of God. The state disqualified him and barred his notary
commission. At the time, Torcaso said the issue was not whether he
believed in a Supreme Being but "whether the state has a right to
inquire into my beliefs." The Maryland courts upheld the state
constitution on the basis that Torcaso had not been forced to become a
notary public.

ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE
Posted on Tuesday, August 21, 2007
The Arkansas attorney general’s
office has accused a Springdale notary public of misleading Hispanic customers
into thinking she is a lawyer. Deputy Attorney General Jim DePriest filed a
lawsuit Friday against Victoria Nimroozi, who owns Latin Community Services and
operates under the name Vicky Carreon. Nimroozi is accused of violating a part
of the Consumer Protection Act requiring “notarios” to advertise in writing in
Spanish and English that they aren’t licensed attorneys.
The scheme plays on the misconception
that a “notario publico” is a specially trained lawyer, which is true in many
Latin American countries.
The suit in Washington County
Circuit Court seeks an injunction to make Nimroozi follow the disclosure law.
It may seek restitution if it is learned that Nimroozi charged fees for legal
advice.
She has been in business at 1221 S.
Thompson St. for about two years, DePriest said.
Anyone with information can call
attorney general investigator Mariel Henderson at (501 ) 683-3130.

Sacramento – On Wednesday, the State
Senate Appropriations Committee passed AB 886, a bill that will strengthen
notary law and fight real estate fraud. “I am very pleased that this
important legislation is moving forward,” said Assemblywoman Sharon Runner.
“Real estate fraud is a serious problem and this legislation will save untold
dollars now lost to fraud.” Essentially, AB 886 makes it easier
to investigate unethical and criminal notaries public. In these types of cases,
notaries aid and abet fraud by loaning their journal to a non-notary, by
notarizing documents without all of the parties present or by failing to
properly secure their journal and stamp.
