What happens if the person signing the document to be notarized is ill or elderly?
Please keep in mind if a notarization takes place for an ill or elderly person, the law states that the notary must determine that the signer is willing to sign the document, has an understanding of what they are signing, and is not being pressured to sign. This is usually determined by communicating with the signer. This can simply be nods of the heads of the head in response to questions. Also, the signer must be conscious and has to be able to sign with little or no assistance.
