We've all seen the Court room trial sagas in TV shows and movies...the drama, the arguments, the jurors, the anxiety, sometimes the yelling and even crying! But that it all for the show.

Because it is rare that a personal injury case ever makes it to trial.

FANCY LEGAL TERMS – WHAT DO THEY MEAN?

I know, I know…I have missed a week, but here we go!

Today’s fancy legal term is NOTARY (no-tur-ree), what is it?
Actually, it is a who!

A Notary is a person who acts as an official witness for legal documents. They must be unbiased, meaning they have no relationship with the legal document that is being signed or the person/people signing it.

A Notary must be certified by the County and/or State which they live, must be a U.S. citizen, 18 years of age or older, be able to read and write in English, and have no disqualifying criminal record or prior notary violations.

A Notary can notarize any legal document, from mortgage documents, Powers of Attorney, Wills, prenuptial agreements, settlement releases, Contracts, interrogatories, any legal document whether it is involved in a legal case or simple contracts, titles, deeds, agreement, EXCEPT Government documents like birth or death certificates or marriage or death certificates. Notaries are also not permitted to notarize a blank document or one that isn’t completed with the signer’s name/info.

Many banks have a Notary; you would have to call to see if they are in that day. There are some commercial businesses who have Notary services, like FedEx or UPS Stores. Most law offices have a Notary on staff. There are also travel Notaries, and online Notaries. A simple Google search could find one near you.

When you need a legal document signed, you do not sign it until you are in front of the Notary and they instruct you to do so. Before you sign it, you will need to show your photo ID and confirm that you are signing the document of your own will and not being forced to do so. You will swear an Oath to the Notary that you have read the document and agree to what it says, and that you are who you say you are. Then the Notary will instruct you where to sign and then he/she will notarize it. Meaning that they will sign their name and stamp the document with their official seal which will certify the document.

For personal injury claims/cases, documents that may need to be notarized are Interrogatories, Affidavits, Witness Statements, and Settlement Releases.

Stillman and Friedland has a Notary on staff.

We here at Stillman and Friedland will be with you every step of the way!
