The attorney may act only in Kings County thereafter.
Correct Answer
B. The attorney may retain the notary office and is deemed a resident of the county where the office is maintained.
AI Explanation
Attorneys get a special residency rule. Executive Law §130(2) provides that an attorney admitted in New York whose law office is within the State may be appointed and retain office as a notary even though the attorney resides in or removes to an adjoining state, and is deemed a resident of the county where the office is maintained. Unlike an ordinary nonresident, the attorney does not need a separate business-place analysis.
