SC Other Information of InterestSouth Carolina clearly states that a non-attorney notary is not authorized to do loan signings without being considered to be engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. Here is what the state of South Carolina has to say concerning this matter:
The handling of real estate closings by notaries public constitutes the unauthorized practice of law in the State of South Carolina. Offering advice to clients, preparing notes, deeds, mortgages, and any other documents related to the transfer of property do NOT fall within the duties of a notary public. (Exception: An attorney who is also a notary public.) Real estate and mortgage loan closings must be conducted by attorneys in South Carolina.
A South Carolina Notary Commission lasts 10 years which is very unusual. Also, a South Carolina notary may solemnize marriages which is a capacity that is only allowed for notaries in three states. A record book or official journal of notarial acts is not required in this state.
Dual State commission informationA
