I'm potentially selling my vehicle today and signing the title over to the buyer. However, we're meeting around 5:30 when most public notaries are closed. I went to a lawyer in my office building to get it notarized beforehand but he wasn't confident on what to do since the odometer and buyer info wasn't filled in yet. I didn't want to fill it in because what if the buyer backs out.

My question is... Are you solely notarizing my signature? Or that I provided the odometer reading as well?

Notarizing YOUR signature as certifying what's in the document. If the document is incomplete he/she cannot do that.

Technically you all need to be together and do it in one sitting.

Sometimes a notary will do what you are asking about if they know/trust you.

They're certifying that what you put there is correct. Can't do that when it's blank.

Look at the back of the title. There should be a place for 2 witnesses to sign and then a place where one of the witnesses appears before a notary and swears that they witnessed the signature. So, you could get two other witnesses there at the transfer and one of the witnesses could later sign before a notary.

One time i signed a document and brought it to a notary. This count refused to notarize it because I didnt sign it in front of her. I had to go home and reprint it, refill it out and bring it back.

Why the hell would i get somebody else to forge my signature?

Dumb bitch

you can never remember each transaction and may could not testify the affiant's sig was made before you if you made exceptions. but if you always require the sig to be made before you...well there's that.
