Need to check your state handbook first to be sure it's even an authorized duty in your state. Many states prohibit notaries from doing this. If your state does allow it the fee is probably spelled out in your handbook, and to that you'd add your "business" expenses (time, travel, etc).

Old topic again.. I just got this phone call too. This REALLY sounds like something a lawyer should do. I didn't have a clue about this process at ALL. I mean.. what would I even CHARGE for this? I told them I would look into it and call them in the morning but I honestly don't think they can PAY me enough for this.

I know this is an old thread but I was just approached for the same thing. I too was not comfortable with the level of responsibility I would be accepting. Sounds like an attorney should really be involved. Thanks for the post!

The way it was explained to me I would mail out the notice to the debtor and they had a limited time to respond - I was to receive responses via mail, if any, and if not, report that lack of response. Again, I just wasn't comfortable with IT or the person who proposed it to me. I wasn't crazy about being the middle man between someone collecting past due money from what could possibly be a disgruntled debtor.

I am not sure how it all works, but I found this web-site that explains it....and they actually handle the process in another state. http://www.webmavin.com/Protest.html
The notary is responsible for maintaining the timeline in-between the affidavits being sent out, and actually mailing the notarized affidavits out, and possibly even being in court as the notary that sent out the notices, if the person does not respond. Like I said below, you really should have knowledge of the process, which I do not, to take on this job.... |

I am sorry I havent replied until now. However, I never have heard of the Notarial Protest Process. I am now curious - what is involved?

I Was approached several months ago by someone to help him with something similar (may even have been the same process - funny, similar scenario though - they had a notary over an hour away who could no longer do it) - I declined because I wasn't so sure of its validity, from what brief research I did a knowledge of UCC law would be important (or even required), and last but not least this guy just didn't come across as all that credible to me - he couldn't show me any valid credentials (or I should say any that I trusted).
I graciously declined the offer as, I told him, "it's out of the realm of my expertise".

| I hate to reply to my own question, but the NNA told me yesterday, that I should not take this on without having special knowledge of this process, or it should only be done with supervision from an attourney or a bank. The guy never called me back to talk more about it, but if he does I will decline. Sounds too complicated and could take more time than it would be worth, and could take time from me in court if the respondents don't respond.....maybe he found another notary that was interested, since it is so quiet out there right now......someone might be hungry enough to take it on..... |

Carmen,
I received a call from someone yesterday, asking me if I would be interested in handling their Notarial Protest Process for them. They currently have a notary doing it, but the notary is about an hour away, and I am in the same zip code. I am not familiar with the process, but did go on-line and get some information from other web-sites about it. I was wondering if you knew anything about it, how complex it could get, and if I would have to be available to go to court at any time over it...Also, if anyone has any comments about how much you could charge for this process. Apparantly, the notary is responsible for keeping track of the number of days between the affidavits that are sent out...and it is a 3-part process, or it could be, if the respondent is not cooperating. Are you familiar with this? |
