There seems to be a continuing need for more notary publics in my work place, why is this, and what do notaries do? A registered notary public is often in demand in banks, real estate firms and legal offices that have official documents that need to be signed. Want to earn some brownie points with your employer? Becoming a notary public could be the solutiona??in most states ita??s fairly easy to do. Your employer will appreciate your added value as a notary, and your resume always will look better with that extra item. If asked, much of the public probably couldna??t tell you what a notary public does. Important legal documents require that an impartial witness be present when the signing takes place. The notary acts as an impartial witness when the signers of legal documents agree that the facts of the document are correct. Notarization is necessary not only for day to day business functions, but also to help protect the general public from fraud. The list of documents that require notarization would include mortgages, real estate deeds, affidavits, loans and contracts. As a notary, your signature and stamp verifies that the people signing the documents are willingly entering into a contract. The notary verifies the identity of document signers by checking their drivers license. After their identity is verified and they sign the document, you put a notary jurat stamp on it, seal it and sign it. A statement stamped at the end of the document that contains the name of the signers, the date they signed and that the notary was a witness is called the notary jurat. The only condition under which a notary public would offer legal advice is one where the notary is also a lawyer. Here are a few tips to consider if youa??re thinking of becoming a notary public. The requirements for becoming a notary differ from state to state. Your notary certification normally only certifies you to perform notary duties in your home state. A notary in Van Nuys, California needs to have cleared a background check, paid a number of fees, taken classes and passed a written test. Notary licenses are as accessible as drivers licenses in other states. Simple renewals are the rule of the day. A notaries term expires after four years and reappointment is required in most states. In Florida, to get a notary renewal, you just print the form, make a copy of your current or expired Florida notary license, send your proof of Florida residency and $95 to the Florida Notary Association.

Do you know what coolsat is, what it does? I think that many people reading this article will be exposed to quite a few new words and phrases that they previously knew nothing about. There are many cases like this ” especially with the arrival of the internet, where new words are uploaded daily ” and not many people can adequately search the internet to find answers to their questions. Some people cannot even work on a computer, never mind the internet.
I will endeavor to explain what Coolsat is. It is a free-to-air receiver satellite that obtains unencrypted transmissions. FTA receivers that are older use analog satellite transmissions, the newer ones conform to MPEG-2/DVB-S or even MPEG-4/DVB-S2 standards. You can connect coolsat to your Tivo, record whatever you want and watch whatever you want. This should be done manually though, so FTA PVRs are recommended for FTA use.
Total fta, is a FTA satellite where you can get codes, watch movies and more. Many brands are supported by the totalfta satellite viewer, some of these include: Viewsat, Sonic view, Conaxsat, Ariza, Buzz, CaptiveWorks, Coolsat, Extremeview, Fortec, Pansat and more.
Another one is viewsat. This is a manufacturer with a variety of FTA receivers on the market. Viewsat consists of products such as: ViewSat900HD, ViewSatPlatinum, ViewSatUltra and ViewSat Pro. The newer the product, the faster their processers (some has up to or exceeding 200MHz), they have large memory potential (up to 64 MB SD RAM), and USB for easy data downloads and renewals.
When using satellite viewers, such as totalfta.com, you should remember that a large part of the inscriptions and codes that are available on the internet are actually hack-codes. You might, or might not know, that when you use your FTA receiver and hack into subscription television packages (eg. ESPN), then you are actually breaking the law, and will be found guilty of hacking.
FTA receivers have been manufactured for free-to-air transmissions, but are very simple to adjust for other illicit purposes. You can be brought up on charges if you are caught using your FTA receiver for receiving subscription channels/programmes that you have not paid for.
Should you be caught using these codes, you cannot claim unawareness. Any services or products that you obtain by illegal, or suspect means, are illegal products. Charges that can be brought up against you include: Piracy, theft and copyright infringement. Thus you should consider these things before deciding to use programs or codes obtained from websites such as totalfta.
Another matter telling of the above things is the recent increase in lawsuits on FTA receiver makers. Within the past month a lawsuit was brought up against FTA receiver manufacturers such as SonicView and ViewSat, that claimed that the manufacturers had developed their software, and marketed it on sites that advertise hacking into FTA receivers or advertised illegal downloads, to increase their sales. The lawsuit was filed by DISH, Echostar and Nagrastar to the Federal Court in California. There is no word yet on the outcome of the case, and further information should be available within the next few months.

Appraisers draw on comparable market sales (comps) of local properties sold within the last six months to value your home. With today?s rapidly rising seller?s market, six-month-old information is ancient history. Appraised value does not always equal the true market value, or what the home will sell for on the open market.

Realtors will give you a comparative market analysis, an informal estimate of market value based on comparable sales. Lenders, on the other hand, will use the appraised value to determine a new mortgage amount. Some lenders require that the stated property value covers the mortgage amount plus their selling costs in case of foreclosure. For this reason, a sale may fall through if a home sells on the open market for more than the appraised value, which often happens in bidding wars over hot property.

We learned the importance of securing a sufficiently high appraisal when we sold a rental property in Lake Elsinore, California. We listed the house for $234,700 on Friday. By Monday morning, we had three offers: $245,000, $255,000, and $260,000. We accepted the one for $255,000 because the buyers had $80,000 down, reassuring us that they had sufficient funds.

As usual, the lender sent an appraiser to review the property. This busy appraiser didn’t take the time to view all the upgrades we put into the custom-built home. Even worse, he used only comps from the local one-mile radius. Because this home is close to a shopping district, there were not many homes sold in this limited area during the six-month period.

The appraiser used comps six months old; during this time housing costs in Southern California appreciated around thirty percent. Sales from six months previous should have gone up in value by $30,000 on a $200,000 home. This means that our home should have been worth $250,000 to $260,000, especially since buyers are willing to pay this price on the open market. To increase the value of this home, at the time there was not another three bedroom home listed in the area for under $250,000 (excluding manufactured homes). However, the appraiser valued our home for only $230,000 — and we would have lost the sale if the offer did not include a sufficient down payment.

Because a low appraisal can kill your sale, finding a buyer with a large down payment provides you with a safety net. You may also choose a buyer with strong credit who doesn’t have to put a large percentage down. If you think that your home?s appraisal could become a problem, make sure you don’t include a clause in your sale?s contract which states “subject to appraisal.”

How to Avoid Low Appraisals

Hire your own appraiser before the sale. Then ask your buyer?s or lender?s appraiser to review your appraisal.

Retain the option to approve your buyer?s mortgage lender. Make sure that the buyer doesn’t use a lender with a history of deliberately underestimating property values. A good real estate agent should know which lenders routinely under value homes.

Keep records of repairs and upgrades, including costs. Take “before” and “after” photographs. Create an organized journal with a listing of expenses and include pictures to show to the appraiser during the appraisal appointment. Stage your home for the appraiser like you do for buyers.

Secure your own property comparables to make sure the appraiser uses complete information. Call real estate agents with homes in escrow and get the sales prices. Make a list of these properties with the agent?s phone numbers and give it to the appraiser.

What to Do When Your Selling Appraisal Comes in Too Low:

1. Ask for another appraisal.

2. Protest the appraisal with documentation of your upgraded expenses.

3. Have the buyers make a larger down payment.

When you sell or buy real estate, remember that the certified appraisal is just one person?s opinion of the value of your home. The opinion that counts for you is the buyer?s: you want to be sure the buyer values your home above all others.
