Something that came up at a signing 👇
A notary called us because the signer was having a hard time signing due to an illness. The signer said, “I have a stamp with my name… can I just use that?” We explained that a name stamp cannot replace a signature. she still needed to sign, even if it wasn’t perfect. In the end, she signed the best she could. It wasn’t pretty, but it was her signature, and that’s what counts. These are the kind of moments that can catch you off guard if you haven’t seen them before 👉 Have you ever had a signer struggle to sign? What did you do? 👇

So far, I've only had two signings. Thinking of worst scenarios what would be the best choice is a client is in the hospital. Ex: They were in an accident and hurt both their arms or lost both their arms? I ask because I have had a surgery in my arm where I couldn't move it for days. Without a power of attorney or something similar... can the client assign someone else to sign for them if the other person is present?
A situation that happens more often than you think 👇
Client deletes docs and uploads a new set… ❌ Doesn’t notify anyone Notary downloads the original set, completes the signing… ❌ Never sees the updated documents Signing service also doesn’t catch the update… ❌ No one flags the change Now the question is: Who’s responsible here? 👀 👉 The client for not notifying? 👉 The notary for not double-checking before the appointment? 👉 The signing service for not catching the update? 👉 Or all of the above? This is one of those gray areas where communication (or lack of it) can cause real problems. Quick reminder: Before heading to a signing, it’s always a good habit to do a last-minute check for any updates or new documents. It can save you from a big headache later. 👉 What do YOU think? Who’s responsible in this situation? Let’s discuss 👇

I think its a shared responsibility on both parts. As notaries we should do a last minute check before printing. The client needs to communicate the changes.
