A man inherits property in Alabama and needs to send an affidavit to the court. What can he do regarding notarization?

  1. He can notarize the document himself

  2. He can have any friend notarize his signature

  3. He can have a family member notarize his signature

  4. He can't do either notarization

The correct answer is: He can't do either notarization

Sending an affidavit to the court requires notarization, which must be done by a professional notary public. A notary public is an official authorized by the state to witness and certify the signing of legal documents. A notary public must be impartial and cannot have a personal stake in the documents being notarized, so having a friend or family member notarize the signature would not be allowed. Additionally, notarizing the document himself is not permitted as it would be a conflict of interest. Therefore, the man must find a professional notary public to properly notarize his affidavit.
