A Handbook for Notaries Public and Commissioners of Deeds of New York (Classic Reprint)

Preface. Likewise, few know that a notary is both a State and a local officer, that as to some powers he may act anywhere within the state while as to others he can act only in the county for which he is appointed or in some other county in which he has filed his certificate. And many do not know that as a state officer he is required to have a seal. It is very doubtful if more than half of the seals of notaries in the state of New York comply with the legal requirements. The following is believed to be the legal seal of a nota,ry of this state: l Although notaries and commissioners of deeds are generally chosen as officers to take depositions no work on notaries has ever contained in concise form the general rules governing their powers and duties in taking depositions in New York. That the law gathered from statutes and oases which an officer might want at a moments notice) when taking a deposition should be in a form to be of use 13 considered an important feature of a work on notaries and commissioners of deeds. The powers and duties of notaries under the insurance law has never before been discussed in a hand-book for notaries. This is a very important power that has been delegated to notaries and should be more widely understood. The relation of a bank and its notary is another subject which has never been discussed in a book on notaries. This also is an important question which belongs logically in such a work.
