Contract
If a person writing a contract shouldn't it be notirized to be affective? I have a co-worker writing a contract but I told him he needs to get it notarized and another co-worker told me you do not need to.
Thx,

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.
We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.

Re: Contract
It depends on the type of contract. Some types of contracts would require a notary, but there are more that do not.
For example, a sale of real property would require a notary, but an agreement to provide goods would not.
Note, however, that the contract for goods may require a 'writing' while some other types of contracts do not require a writing, but this is an entirely different issue.

Contracts generally DO NOT need to be notarized, even if they are for the purchase of real property.
