If your question is whether a signature before a notary is sufficient to establish that a debt was owed then the answer is maybe. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the signature and of the overall execution of the debt instrument it could provide valid evidence. However, in order to file a complaint, for breach of the agreement to pay the debt, there are other steps that must be taken.
