A notary public in Connecticut can be expected to prepare legal documents.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not allowed
• D. Only in certain cases

Answer: (B)

The key point is that a notary’s role is to verify and witness the signing process, not to draft or advise on legal content. In Connecticut, a notary public must not prepare legal documents or provide legal advice. They verify the signer’s identity, ensure the signer acts willingly, administer oaths if required, and attach the appropriate notarial certificate. They may handle administrative aspects of the process, such as completing the notarial section, but they should not create or tailor the instrument itself. If a legally binding document is needed, a licensed attorney should be consulted. So the statement is false.
