Understanding the Document
It is the persons own responsibility to ensure that they understand the document they intend to sign before a Notary. It is not a Notary’s duty to ensure that the person can understand the document, but it is usual for the Notary to ask for and be given an assurance from the person, that they understand the document.
If the document is a highly technical document, such as a building agreement or a Power of Attorney or is in a language that the person does not understand, it is the duty of that person to have the document explained beforehand to them by somebody competent to do so. It is not the duty of the Notary to explain the document to the person.
It is important that any person signing legal documents takes legal advice before going to the Notary. The Notary is normally only concerned with verification of identity, name, address and signature and the ability in a general way to understand the document.
Foreign Language Documents
The Notary does not need to understand the foreign language in which the document is written. The Notary will, however, seek an assurance from the person signing the document that they understand the document. If the Notary is so satisfied, he will stamp the foreign language document with a statement to the following effect: “The notarial act is limited to the verification of the identity, legal capacity, name and signature of the appearer unless otherwise expressly stated in the English language”.
