Did you know about these signing requirements

Many people overlook the specific witnessing requirements outlined in state regulations when conducting notarial acts. For instance, in California, a notary must be impartial, but what does that really entail in practice? I’m curious about the experiences others have had with ensuring compliance during signings. Any interesting anecdotes or challenges to share?

I’ve found that keeping detailed notes during the signing helps with compliance, especially when it comes to identifying witnesses. It’s surprising how often people forget little details later on — have you faced any specific challenges with impartiality?
