In November 2006 a Class Action Suit was brought against 10 Mobile Notaries in MA. The suit says that MA Notary Publics can not perform "Signature Witnessing" for in home Refi's, HI's, Equity Loans. Mass is also an attorney state. However, most Notaries in MA know this and work with an attorney. The Signing Order is sent to an Attorney in MA and then is assigned to a Notary to do the in home witnessing. We, notaries, do NOT consider this action to constitue "a closing" of real estate. The Real Estate Bar Association for Massachusetts Inc. is the Plaintiff. Most of the attorneys requesting a Notary in home Signature Witness are NOT able to travel to clients which are sometimes several hours away from their office. NOR are they willing to do so for the $$$ that are offered them to do so. A Mobile Notary is a vital conponent in FREE CHOICE for the citizens of the USA. I believe that stopping or putting fear into Mobile Notaries for filling a vital need for the general public is UN-constitutional! Any ideas here??? or advice as to how Other NON-ATTORNEY States proceeded in action that allowed Mobile Notaries to perform, in home "Signature Witnessing"????? ps: information in the suit was gained from 123Notary and other online sites where these Notary Publics listed their services. The Plaintiff took a lot of info out of contex, without proof....listing on notary sites brings many other types of work to the Mobile Notary. WE all need to stand by eachother. OUR job is NOT an easy one. Thanks and Prayers
