QUESTION
Is it legal for a notary to notarize a signature when they were not present?
Asked on Apr 27th, 2014 on Foreclosures - Florida
More details to this question:
I have been fighting a foreclosure for five years. For the first time this week the bank produced the 'original mortgage docs. My signature is notarized. The mortgage was closed at my home. There was no notary present. I have called it to my attorney's attention but he hasn't really commented. The assignment is back dated and he is focused on that.

No. In fact, we have recently expanded our practice to suing notaries to recover the bond when this occurs. If you have questions about your case and would like a FREE consultation, please feel free to contact our office at 1-800-922-6442.
