However, a notary public has the authority to certify copies of original documents that are not recordable in the public records. A Yes.

You should not. A notarization is incomplete without notarial wording. It is not the notary’s role or obligation to decide what type of notarial act is needed for a given document.

The Grantee(s) are not required to sign, unless they are taking title as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, or as community property with rights of survivorship. This is because this type of tenancy will affect your rights to will your estate to your heirs: instead of 50-50, the survivor will inherit 100% of the property.

c. Notarize a signed English-language translation of the document. It is highly recommend that a translator’s declaration be attached to the document.

No way, Jos?. In fact, it's one of the dumbest things you can do unless your entire family consists of lawyers and it's all you've ever wanted to do since you were a toddler. If you are not sure you have the "right stuff" to be a lawyer (see above), we would suggest taking some time out and work for a living between college and law school. Find out what the business world is all about, and why business people do some of the awfully dumb things they do.

Nothing - we repeat, NOTHING - is as important as doing well and getting good grades in the first year of law school. Why?

Absolutely! If you are not sure what lawyers really do for a living, get a job as a paralegal at a large (100 lawyers or more) or midsize (20 to 100 lawyers) law firm in your area.
