Can a Florida Notary Give Legal Advice? The Answer is Always No.
A Florida notary public is not an attorney and cannot give legal advice. Their role is to verify a signer's identity and witness the signature. This is a legal requirement to protect the public from the unauthorized practice of law. For any legal questions, always consult a licensed attorney.
