The new law states that a Notary’s failure to comply with the requirement to create a Notarial Record when required by law shall not affect the validity of the transaction involving the Document of Conveyance, in the absence of fraud. However, a failure to complete a Notarial Record could constitute “official misconduct” as defined in 5 ILCS 312/7-104 and be cause for the Secretary of State to revoke the Notary’s commission under 5 ILCS 312/7-108.
