Having a contract notarized can offer legal advantages

On behalf of Warren Gammill & Associates, P.L. | Mar 12, 2015 | Contract Disputes

In a perfect world, people who plan to work together would need no more than a handshake to secure a mutually beneficial situation. However, our world is far from perfect and contracts are essential for doing business. But no matter how thoroughly parties may prepare the terms of an agreement, disputes can still occur.

Business contracts can be extremely complex. In general, this is not a bad thing as detailed pacts can clearly delineate expectations and responsibilities. But once you have drawn up a satisfactory agreement, there is one thing you might want to do before all the involved parties add their signatures.

Having your contract notarized could prove advantageous should a dispute ever arise. Notary publics have commissions from county or state governments to act as official witnesses to document signings. A notary?s acknowledgement can help you a great deal if you get into a conflict over an agreement.

For instance, sometimes a person denies having signed a contract. This makes enforcing the terms of the agreement or getting a legal remedy much more difficult. You may have to offer the court proof that the other person put his or her signature on the document. Fortunately, courts often accept notarized documents as authentic, thus saving you time and legal fees.

Having a contract notarized is a relatively inexpensive way to protect your interests. But almost any contract could end up being the subject of contention. When this happens, it is important to go over the terms very carefully to figure out who is in the right.

If you are in a contract dispute, a Florida attorney who is versed in interpreting contract language may be able to offer you helpful counsel. After assessing your contract as well as the entirety of your situation, the attorney could possibly help you get financial satisfaction for the losses you have experienced.
