In Louisiana, is it necessary to have the notary paragraph/statement in the document or can the notary just sign, date and stamp the document?

If its a will. Must have notary's attestation clause or will be deemed invalid.

I believe that if it's going to be filed, then it needs to have to notarial statement. I don't have my notary book handy, but I'll take a look and let you know a little later.

You need a statement as to what the notary is attesting, IE:

quote:

STATE OF LOUISIANA

PARISH OF _____________

On this ____ day of ____________, 2014, before me the undersigned authority, personally appeared ______________ to me known to be the person described in and who executed the foregoing instrument, and acknowledged that he executed the same as his free act and deed.

My Commission expires ______________.
Notary Public in and for __________ Parish, Louisiana


Or simply:
quote:

SWORN TO AND SUBSCRIBED BEFORE ME, on this ____ day of _____________, 2014.
if there is no transfer of ownership.

Note: I have not taken the notary exam.

You've touched on a couple things, so I'll just run through them. First, Louisiana notaries don't need a stamp/seal. Our signature is our seal. We only buy/use the seals because they make us look important. Second, yes, the attestation clause is required. However, if you're saying that your type of transfer does not require an authentic act, then whether that attestation is necessary is entirely up to the parties involved.
