Notarizing Docs

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:

Thanks, please do.
I'm referring to a document that doesn't typically need to be notarized but this particular company requires it. However, there is no place on the document/form for a notary to sign.

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.

Damn right! I paid a lot of money and spent a lot of time studying to get that embosser!
And because most people wouldn't believe me if I told them I don't actually need a stamp- my signature is enough. Posted on 1/29/14 at 4:32 pm to Rantavious

this is one of many requirements for a notarial will. i wouldn't blindly go getting "wills" notarized and expect them to hold up. for a will, get a lawyer

Always fighting with Florida attorneys about why I don't need a seal on transaction documents. Now I just affix the seal so I don't have to deal with them.
