Not Legal Advice
An appointment for notary/commissioning service(s) does not include legal advice. The notary service includes checking your identity, verifying that you understand the contents of the document, having you affirm/swear an oath (if necessary, depending on the document), witnessing your signature, & applying a notary signature, stamp and/or seal.
Any request for legal advice will need to be made at a separate appointment, and the fee varies based on the situation. Legal advice can only occur after I provide you with a retainer agreement outlining the terms of providing that legal service.
