well if you are notarizing someone's signature that hasn't signed the document yet, then what you are doing is illegal and you should refuse to do so. Not only could you lose you notary license, but you likely can be charged with a criminal offense depending on the jurisdiction. I know it's not an uncommon practice, but it doesn't make it appropriate.

its done a lot in firms for known clients, etc. if the attorney is doing something illegal, report it to the bar. of course, be prepared to explain why YOU notarized this document knowing full when you shouldn't.

You could lose your notary license for doing this. Talk to your employer about this. If he cant't give you a satisfactory reason, or won't adjust his procedures so that you don't have to do this, you should reconsider working for this firm.
If you do it once, who's to say you won't be asked to do this (or worse!) again.

If you did it....you committed a crime and need to report it to your superiors and the state bar if you wanna stay out of trouble when it hits the fan.

I would not do it. If he fired me, I would report him to the bar association.
