Notaries Public play a crucial role in the signing process. They are responsible for witnessing signatures on documents, verifying the identity of signers, ensuring that individuals are signing willingly, and administering oaths. It is essential to understand that notaries do not provide legal advice. Their specific services, which are vital in the legal process, include authenticating document contents, creating acknowledgments or jurats, and witnessing signatures on important legal documents such as wills, affidavits, and powers of attorney.

Document Authentication: 

• Notaries authenticate the contents and signatures of documents to assure their genuineness. 

Types of Notarial Acts: 

• In Michigan, three types of notarial acts are common: acknowledgment, jurat, and witness. 

Specific Document Types: 

• Notaries may witness signatures on documents such as wills, affidavits, powers of attorney, and documents for use in foreign countries that are part of the Hague Treaty. 

Notaries fulfill an essential role in the legal landscape by authenticating signatures on a diverse range of important documents. These documents encompass wills, which dictate the distribution of assets after an individual’s passing; affidavits, which serve as sworn statements of fact; and powers of attorney, which grant authority to another individual to act on one’s behalf in legal or financial matters. Additionally, notaries assist with documents intended for use in countries that participate in the Hague Treaty, which provides a standardized process for the recognition and enforcement of legal documents across international borders. This broad spectrum of services not only underscores the significance of their work but also instills trust and assurance in clients, demonstrating their ability to manage various types of legal paperwork with precision, diligence, and professionalism.
