Question 1

Can a notary provide legal advice?

No. A Notary Public is not acting as an attorney and cannot provide legal advice, choose legal documents for you, or advise you about the legal effect of a document. If you have questions about your legal rights, the contents of a document, or what document you should use, please consult a qualified attorney.
