This is really good news to see that there could be some accountability for the ridiculous level of collusion involving notaries employed by lenders who are corroborating robo-signed documents.

This is especially topical for my current situation which consitsts of two issues one the WA State law required a verifiable chain of authorization including a notarized corporate endorsement and two If an agent is to be permitted to sign , at the very minimum this would require absolute proof of chain of authority from the party bound to that signer. This combined with the recent discovery of California’s prohibition on notaries certifying the representative status of signers for use out-of-state would seem to doom virtually every document notarized in California and filed in Washington on behalf of a corporation:
CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE:
§ 1189(2)(c) On documents to be filed in another state or jurisdiction of the United States, a California notary public may complete any acknowledgment form as may be required in that other state or jurisdiction on a document, provided the form does not require the notary to determine or certify that the signer holds a particular representative capacity or to make other determinations and certifications not allowed by California law
