So this poor Chinese laday somehow got herself into a mess by allowing an incorrect name on an original Grant Deed back in 1993. Her four word name had the last word as her husband's last name. Chinese women don't take on their husbands last names, for those who aren't aware.
So they presented me with a DL that was missing the last word of the name on the deed and I had to reject it. The attorney conducting the signing suggested she add an AKA line delineating her legal name without the last name. I saw no problem as long as I did not include the husband's last name on my certificate. However, the attorney asked the lady to sign her legal name as is, then the AKA and the incorrect name all as part of her signature.. I only notarized the non AKA signature and I made notes in my journal of the AKA version.
A few hours later I got a phone call from guy at the attorney's office I chatted with that the title company involved in the transaction wanted me to add the AKA name to the certificate. I was furious with that request because the whole purpose of the AKA was to clarify, not make me notarize the AKA signature. I was upset they were asking me to violate the law quite frankly thinking they could trick me into violating the law with this nonsense. I told him "don't these people have any thinking capacity, why would I put her AKA name on my certificate when the whole purpose was to follow the law? ". He wanted to argue with me and I told him No! Absolutely not, they're asking me to break the law!"
I don't care if this client doesn't call me again, it was apparent they were trying to trick me into breaking the law for the convenience of their client. Her legal name does not include that husband's last name and she really has no recourse then to find some dumb notary at UPS who will stamp anything put in front of them. I'm sure they'll have no problem finding some idiot to notarize the wrong name for them. I didn't tell them that, but there are plenty of notaries from my experience who overlook the law (not issuing oaths or getting proper signatures per document in their journal). A UPS person notarized a document for me using a 12 year old expired license I accidentally provided to her to test to see if UPS people know what they're doing.
I once had an attorney really pissed at me I wouldn't notarize his elderly parent because she didn't have a valid ID or witnesses who knew who she was. She was so homebound with a phobia not to leave the house, he probably had no recourse then to bribe some notary to do it for him. I know this because he's never gotten back to me as promised. I figure he found some idiot he paid off to do the unlawful notarization for him as such.
Sincerely yours,
Notary's Life |
