Why are documents notarized?

Notarizations are required on different types of documents. What are some of those reasons?

-To verify the identity and willingness of the signer

-To help prevent fraud and forgery

-To ensure the validity and enforceability of the document

-To protect the rights and interests of the parties involved

Documents are also notarized to comply with the laws and regulations of the state or country where the document is executed or used. This helps to facilitate the acceptance and recognition of the document by other parties or authorities. Additionally, notarization provides a record of the notarial act and the details of the signer, which can be useful in case of any disputes or legal issues.
