Due Process

Watching the trial of Casey Anthony is very interesting but I think many people have already found her guilty before trial is even over. This would be denying her a fair trial. I have read on some of the social networks such as Facebook comments by some of these back seat lawyers and drama queens that she is guilty as charged. I have not formed my opinion one way or another and I would like to see the outcome of the trial. I think everyone know matter how much you dislike them is entitled to a fair trial in this country. I think the phrase innocent tell proven guilty would define this situation. I am sure if you were on trial you would not want to be declared guilty before your trial was over. So let us take a step back and let the jury make the decision on Casey Anthony's fate. She is on trial for her life so let us follow due process of law.

Quiz

Most Noataries have encountered an issue with personal appearance at some point in their career. Here is an example of how to resolve the situation.

If you were asked to notarize a car title and the person who was supposed to sign did not show up what would you do? The seller said that would be okay because the other person was his cousin and he would take full responsibility for the actions. Should you continue with the notary? Definitely not!

You must explain to the seller that in order for you to perform the notarization the other party must appear before you with the proper identification to verify their identity and if not you would have to terminate the notary.

A notary cannot notarize any document where the signer is not present. There is no exception to this rule.

Notaries

A notary public is empowered by the state to administer various oaths and to testify to the genuineness of signatures. The notary will verify the identity of the signer and affirm in writing that the person signing the document is who he or she claims.

Some people think that having a document notarized makes it legal. It does not. A contract signed by two people without a notary is in most cases perfectly legal.

Termination of a marriage

How is a marriage dissolved? There are two ways to extricate yourself from a marriage.
1) Divorce
2) Annulment
An order of annulment is a ruling by the court that the marriage never existed.
