Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

My partner and I recently refinanced our home. During the doc singing event, the notary was unavailable unexpectedly and the banker from Wells Fargo (the bank offering the new financing) and the rep from Chicago Title sat with us while we signed all of the document WITHOUT THE NOTARY PRESENT. When I asked how our signatures would be notarized, I was told that the notary would go through and stamp everything when she returned. What are the legal ramifications to me, the bank, the notary and the title company in this situation?

None. You've admitted it was your signature, and a notary is allowed to notarize a document if he person has already signed and acknowledges that it is their signature.
