Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Notary Records Re Grant Deeds

If a grant deed to real property has been notarized, are their any ramifications if at a later date the deed is challanged and the notary has not retained a record of the notarization?

Thank you

Re: Notary Records Re Grant Deeds

There are ramifications to the notary, who can lose his or her commission and

potentially be sued for malpractice.

There may be effects in a lawsuit if the execution or acknowledgment of the deed is

denied by the grantor; it would be evidence that the deed may not have been properly executed or acknowledged.
