Disclaimer:
We do not have attorneys, escrow officers or financial advisors on staff and therefore cannot explain or advise you on your forms or their contents nor give legal or financial advice. Any questions about the documents should be addressed to a lawyer or the department or company you obtained the paperwork from.
The notary acts as a witness to the signing of forms by ensuring that 1) the signer is the person named in the paperwork and 2) the individual isn't being made to sign anything against their will as much as possible. The signer should be prepared to prove who they are by showing an active (non expired) government issued picture I.D. such as a drivers license, passport or military I.D.
