Notarial Acts/Documentation

A signer requests a notarization for a Deed of Reconveyance. Are you legally required to obtain the signer's right thumbprint in your sequential journal for this specific document?

A

Yes, because it is a document affecting real property.

B

Yes, but only if the transaction involves a single-family residence.

C

No, the law explicitly exempts a deed of reconveyance from the thumbprint requirement.

D

No, thumbprints are only required for Powers of Attorney.

Correct Answer

C. No, the law explicitly exempts a deed of reconveyance from the thumbprint requirement.

AI Explanation

Thumbprint exemptions. According to Gov. Code section 8206(a)(2)(G), while deeds affecting real property generally require a thumbprint, this paragraph explicitly states it shall NOT apply to a trustee's deed resulting from a decree of foreclosure, a nonjudicial foreclosure, nor to a deed of reconveyance.
