“Can You Help Me Prepare This Document?”

Updated: Dec 23, 2019

Signers often need important legal or business documents notarized but aren’t sure how to complete them, so they may turn to you for help:

“Help me out. Can you tell me what information I need to fill in here?”“Can you prepare a power of attorney document for me?”“What kind of notarization do I need for this type of document?”

The Risk: Notaries who are not attorneys are prohibited from giving legal advice that they aren’t qualified to provide. This is referred to as the unauthorized practice of law. Unfortunately, many well-intentioned Notaries don’t realize that answering questions about a document, preparing a document or simply choosing the type of notarization constitute a violation if the Notary is not a qualified attorney, and can result in civil or criminal liability.

The Recommended Response: If you are asked to help prepare or complete document, or choose the type of notarization needed, and you are not an attorney, you should decline and explain that you are not allowed to provide legal advice. If you are asked to choose a notarization for them, you may describe the different types of notarizations available and let the signer decide, or they can contact the document-issuing or receiving agency for instructions.
