The Legal Impact of a Notary  

Legally Bonded

If you want a private document to become a public instrument, you need to go to a notary. There are many documents that require notarization before they can be considered legal. It is usually performed by a lawyer, who is a notary, where he fixes his signature to make the document binding to the parties and against the whole world. Here is why a notarization is important:

Strong Proof Of Authenticity

Notarized documents have a strong authentic value. No one can easily claim otherwise. This is because once you get a notary to affix his or her signature on the document it automatically becomes legally binding against the whole world. It becomes a contract that no one can render fake unless they have proof or evidence to back their claims.

Rendered Admissible In Court

Another thing you should take note of when it comes to notarized documents is that they can be legally used as evidence for a claim that you might have. This will be very useful when it comes to fraudulent transactions against you, wherein the other party refuses to perform his or her legal obligations as stated in the contract that you have both signed.

Prevents Fraud

Because of the authenticity of the document and the fact that it was duly notarized in front of an authoritative public figure, this helps prevent fraud among legal documents and contracts. This is acknowledged by the law and has power in which justice will be in favour of. So make sure to get important documents like affidavits, deeds, wills and trusts get notarized.
