In this episode you will learn:
- Choosing a notarial act for a signer constitutes the Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL) for an Arizona Notary.
- A notary is only permitted to explain the factual differences between an acknowledgment and a jurat.
- An acknowledgment confirms the signer appeared before the notary and declared they willingly signed the document.
- A jurat requires the signer to swear or affirm that the contents of the document are true, and it must be signed in the notary's presence.
- The mnemonic 'Explain, don't elect' is a key reminder of the notary's limited role in this situation.
