We believe so strongly in your protection that we make it part of all of our packages.
Can you aord to hire an attorney to defend yourself if you make
an unintentional mistake as a Notary Public?
Consider purchasing additional protection. Here are a few examples of how small mistakes can be costly:
A Notary was sued for allegedly axing her seal to a forged signature. The judgment was rendered in favor of the Notary, BUT she still
incurred legal fees for her defense.
As an employee, a Notary, acting under instructions from a manager, witnessed signatures in a real estate transaction, which later proved to
be forgeries. This Notary was held liable for $5,000 in damages and $2,493 in court costs.
