NY Notary case studies

A New York notary public commission is a license issued by the New York State Secretary of State that authorizes the commission holder to perform a defined set of official acts. The Department of State describes notarial functions as administering oaths and affirmations; taking affidavits and depositions; receiving and certifying acknowledgments or proofs of written instruments such as deeds, mortgages and powers of attorney; and demanding acceptance or payment of foreign and inland bills of exchange, promissory notes and written obligations, and protesting them for non-payment. The commission runs for a term of four years. The credential suits people who handle financial or real property paperwork - the Department notes that many banks, law offices and other institutions dealing in such transactions employ commissioned notaries - as well as anyone who wants signing authority available in a business, legal, medical or administrative setting. The NY Notary case studies are 5 cases and about 1,533 words.
