Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
Notary publics and Attorney
What are the laws concerning conflicts of interests when an attorney is the notary?
Also, this was a durable power of attorney form, this form was signed by the client and notarized by the attorney, there are no other signatures or witnesses.
Thank you in advance.

Not only can the attorney not be the beneficiary or the party receiving a benefit under the transaction, but the attorney cannot be acting as an attorney for any of the beneficiaries or parties receiving benefits of the transaction.
Very truly yours,

The 'laws' are that a notory can't be a party or a beneficiary under the document.
