VSN - Notary Services restrictions
VSN is NOT a law firm
VSN DOES NOT employ lawyers and DO NOT practice law. Therefore, VSN is NOT able to provide any type of legal advise. It is the clients responsibility to know which forms match your situation. I, as the notary, am NOT able to advise the client in these matters.
