does anybody know if there is a connecticut statute that states an attorney can sign as a notary without seal?

Question

I'm working on a north carolina mortgage and their telling me that my attorney's signature as a notary wasn't good enough and that he needs to have a seal if he's a notary, but he's not and i can't find the statute or code of evidence that says he can sign in lieu of a notary... NEED HELP FAST!!!!

so nevermind, i found out that they can; it's in the first line of the right of an attorney under the rules of practice book... thanks anyways.

Answer 1

You need to ask your own attorney this.

If he is authorized by Connecticut law to sign as a Notarial Official, then he needs to tell you (or the closing officer) the authority by law.

While many attorneys are notaries, not all of them are. I would be very surprised if an attorney can sign as a notary when they are not in fact a notary. The attorney can sign in YOUR place in some cases, but usually cannot act as a notary when they are not. There are some exceptions to this rule, and you need to call your attorney in Connecticut.

If for some reason you can't reach him, you can try the Secretary of State's office for Connecticut. They usually are the office which regulates notaries, and can tell you if an attorney can function as a notarial officer in Connecticut.
