Notary Public Conflict of Interest - California

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA

My husband owns and operates a Judgement Recovery Business.

2. Various forms will need to be Notarized (i.e. Power of Attorney, etc.) for HIS CLIENTS

3. My husband's clients will need to get these forms Notarized

4. The forms are for my husband's CLIENTS to get Notarized

5. I (wife) am a Notary Public

6. Will I (wife) be able to Notarize the documents for my husband's Clients???

7. Is this a conflict of interest? Again, the documents needing notarized are for my Husband's clients.

Absolutely not, you have the potential to benefit from items notarized. I am a licensed notary and would not touch such items with a 10 foot pole.

Despite the fact that you repeatedly emphasize that this would be a service for your husband's clients, your own state's training manual cautions you that, because of the community property law, you have the potential for a direct and/or beneficial interest, as racer pointed out. This is not as ambiguous as you would like it to be.
