Correct Answer
A. Judiciary Law §§484-485 on the unauthorized practice of law.
AI Explanation
Non-attorney notaries may not draw legal papers. The booklet's "Professional Conduct" section says a notary who is not a lawyer may not prepare deeds and similar legal papers, and Judiciary Law §§484-485 make unauthorized legal practice a misdemeanor. Unlike simply taking an acknowledgment on a deed prepared by someone else, drafting the deed itself crosses into legal practice.
