Only the immigration-advice charge is improper; the advertising and deed drafting are allowed.
The conduct violates both the foreign-language advertising restrictions and the ban on unauthorized practice of law.
The conduct is allowed if the notary posts a seal and commission expiration date.
Only the use of a foreign language is prohibited; deed drafting for compensation is allowed.
Correct Answer
B. The conduct violates both the foreign-language advertising restrictions and the ban on unauthorized practice of law.
AI Explanation
This is a double-violation scenario. Executive Law §135-b and 19 NYCRR §182.1 prohibit misleading foreign-language notary advertising, and Judiciary Law §484 bars a non-attorney from preparing deeds for compensation or giving legal advice as part of law practice. In practice, the exam often combines advertising misconduct with unauthorized practice in one fact pattern.
