In conclusion, notaries public bear a significant responsibility in ensuring the authenticity and validity of legal documents. To mitigate risks associated with potential errors or omissions during notarization, such as legal liability and notary claims, it’s imperative to understand and fulfill one’s duties diligently. This includes securing professional liability insurance, commonly known as Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance, and maintaining a notary bond. By prioritizing these measures, notaries can protect themselves financially and uphold the integrity of their notarial acts, navigating within the boundaries of notary ethics and notary law with confidence.
