Can attorneys perform notary services for their clients?

  1. Yes, without any limitations

  2. No, they can only notarize for non-clients

  3. Yes, but only for legal documents

  4. No, except in case of a conflict of interest

The correct answer is: Yes, without any limitations

The assertion that attorneys can perform notary services for their clients is accurate. In Ohio, attorneys who are also notaries public have the legal authority to notarize documents for their clients without any limitations specifically prohibiting them from doing so. This flexibility allows attorneys to effectively assist their clients in executing legal documents that may require notarization as part of the process. While some might think there could be restrictions regarding the types of documents or the parties involved, the law generally allows attorneys to not only represent clients in legal matters but also to perform the necessary notarial acts related to those matters freely. This makes it easier for attorneys to facilitate processes that require both legal expertise and notary services.
