19 Dec THE NEW FRONTIER OF REMOTE ONLINE NOTARIZATION AND ELECTRONIC WILLS
Remote Online Notarization
The act is heavy on the nuts and bolts of becoming an online notary public and how to accomplish a remote notarial act, including details on the recording requirement, electronic journaling, witnessing electronic documents, and security and storage of electronic documents by qualified custodians.
At the outset, it should be noted that electronic documents are not new to Florida. In 2000, the legislature adopted the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act,[2] and in 2007, it adopted the Uniform Real Property Electronic Recording Act.[3] The act took electronic documents to another level by making it possible for documents to be notarized online when the notary and the principal are in different physical locations and are connected only via audio-video communication technology.
