In this episode you will learn:
- The personal representative of a deceased Arizona notary must deliver the seal and journal to the Secretary of State.
- This action must be completed within three months of the personal representative's appointment to avoid penalties.
- Unlike some other states, Arizona law requires the physical seal to be surrendered, not destroyed by the representative.
- A common exam trap is confusing the recipient; items go to the Secretary of State, not the County Recorder.
- A helpful mnemonic is 'SOS gets the Seal and Journal in Three' to remember the recipient, items, and timeline.
