Notaries Urged to Print Expiration Dates on Seals
Supreme Court rules that instruments bearing a notarial seal are void unless the notary’s commission expiration date appears on or beneath the seal. In Sheridan county a mortgage on Alexander McKinney’s property was deemed invalid after Mrs. McKinney denied signing, leaving only the seal impression as proof. The ruling invalidates the mortgage since the homestead owner’s signature alone cannot validate the instrument.
