WITH SO MANY THINGS GOING VIRTUAL, WHAT ABOUT NOTARIZING SIGNATURES?

Can a notary notarize documents virtually?  In other words, can a notary affix his or her seal to a document electronically?  In Arizona, the answer is yes, they can.  There are two different processes now provided for in Arizona law that allow signatures to be notarized virtually.  Those processes are the topic of my latest newsletter, along with a brief revisit of the subject of virtual wills.  It’s in my Real Estate Law Update for September, posted for your edification in the news and events section of deconcinimcdonald.com.
