This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The notary's role under CA Gov Code 27201.1 is to perform a jurat on a disinterested custodian's signature, not to certify the copy's content. - A 'disinterested custodian' is a neutral third party with no financial or beneficial interest in the transaction related to the electronic record. - This procedure is specifically designed to create a paper copy of an electronic record that county recorders must accept for official recording. - Exam questions will try to confuse this process with certifying copies of Powers of Attorney, a separate and distinct notarial act. - The required notarial act for the custodian's certification statement is a jurat, which involves administering an oath or affirmation.
