Notary Services
A Notary Public acts as an official, unbiased witness to the identity and signature of the person who comes before the notary for a specific purpose. The person may be taking an oath, giving oral or written testimony, or signing or acknowledging his or her signature on a legal document. In each case, the notary attests that certain formalities have been observed.
The person requesting a document notarized must provide proper identification before the notary to prove that person is who they claim to be.
Under the law (47.1-19, 47.1-20) of the Commonwealth of Virginia a person or company may charge up to $5.00 for each paper-based notarial act performed. An additional fee can be charged if there is actual travel expense if the notary has to travel away from their office to perform the notarial act. In this case, the notary and client must agree on the payment to be made.
Lakeside Title & Escrow, LLC does not act as attorney’s and cannot change any verbiage or add anything to the said documents.
