Generally, contracts are not required to be notarized, as the signed contract itself is legally binding. However, if there is a legal dispute, having a copy notarized by a notary signing agent is helpful.
So, when should you notarize a business contract? As an experienced provider of notary services in Santa Rosa, California, let me share some facts with you.
Notarization can play a crucial role in ensuring that a contract is legally enforceable. Like wills, business contracts generally are not required to be notarized to become legally binding. However, if a business contract ends up being challenged in court, it can be very helpful to have a notarized copy. Here’s why-
It is the responsibility of the Notary to verify the identity of the person signing the contract and to notarize that person’s signature. By having a contract notarized, the legitimacy of the document can be safeguarded. The notarization can prove that the party who signed the contract was indeed the person whose identity was verified. This can be extremely instrumental in preventing fraud.
