For which type of document is a right thumbprint not required in the Notary journal?

Deed of trust
Mortgage agreement
Deed of reconveyance
Power of attorney

The correct answer is: Deed of reconveyance

A right thumbprint is required in a Notary journal for all documents, except for a deed of reconveyance. A deed of trust and a mortgage agreement both deal with real estate transactions, and a power of attorney is a legal document that authorizes one person to act on behalf of another. These documents typically involve large sums of money and high stakes, so requiring a right thumbprint in the Notary journal provides an additional layer of security and verification. However, a deed of reconveyance is used to release property from a mortgage or deed of trust, so it is not considered a high-risk document and therefore does not require a right thumbprint.
