4 Reasons Why Notary Entreprenuers Should Have A Legal Service Plan

by Daniel C. Lewis

We are currently experiencing some very dramatic changes in notary laws across the country.  Just a few years ago, for example, the Indiana Notary Guide produced by the Indiana Secretary of State's Office was just over 20 pages.  Today it is over 70 pages.  With new technology happening across the country in the notary industry it is a smart choice for the professional notary entrepreneur to have the proper legal protection against looming legal issues.

Here are 4 reasons that notary professionals should carry a legal service plans in their toolbox

1.  Legal Service Plans can give you access to an entire law firm.  Imagine if you, as a notary entrepreneur, had access to a Contract Attorney, Tax Attorney, or Estate Attorney.  Imagine being able to talk with an attorney about how to help you lower legal risk of operating your notary business.  Imagine even if in the process of going to each of your assignments you receive a traffic ticket and having an attorney represent you in court.  Would that be a benefit to you?

2.  Notary Laws are becoming more and more complicated.  If you are not a lawyer it probably a mistake to try to interpret the laws on your own without the counsel of a trained and license attorney. Would it be a benefit to have an attorney to consult on business decisions?

3.  Not having a legal service plan will cost you.  As a notary entrepreneur you will be dealing with signing and title companies in a different states which means contracts that will be under the jurisdiction of that state.  Sometime you will even be asked to notarize borrower's documents from a different country in a different language.  If you are an notary employee you may be asked by your employer at times to notarize documents that you would consider questionable.  If an unintentional mistake is made on documents by you, would you feel more confident in the outcome of a legal proceeding if you had an attorney to help you through the process?

4.   Having a Legal Service Plan helps you operate an Efficient/Effective Notary Business.  Using a Legal Service Plan effectively helps to keep you out of litigation and becoming a Defendant in a court case.  Remember the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".  Could you benefit with consulting with an attorney about lower risk factors to your business?
