    How much can a mistake cost? A small mistake can be expensive. Notarial losses are becoming more common everyday, from small suits -- many in the $3,000 to $15,000 range -- to major verdicts involving tens of thousands of dollars! Following are just a few examples of victimized notaries:

    • A notary lost $2,381 on a claim that he acknowledged a forged signature. Another notary is currently fighting a similar claim involving $14,671.
    • A Texas notary was sued for allegedly affixing her seal to a forged signature on a certificate of title. Although judgment was finally rendered in favor of the notary, she did incur $560 in legal fees.
    • Recently, a notary witnessed signatures in a real estate transaction which later were proven to be forgeries. Even though she was acting on instructions from her boss, that notary was held liable for $5,000 in damages and $2,493 in court costs.
    		  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
        

    IF YOU THINK YOU ARE COVERED IN SUCH CASES BY YOUR NOTARY BOND, YOU ARE MISTAKEN. THE BOND PROTECTS THE PUBLIC -- NOT THE NOTARY. The notaries in these cases were covered by Western Surety Notary Public Errors and Omissions Insurance. They paid every dollar of their damages and legal costs. That's right, there's no deductible on the Western Surety Policy.

    Can you afford a costly lawsuit because you made an innocent mistake and were an easy "target" for someone trying to recover losses? Notary Public Errors and Omissions Insurance is your best safeguard against costly and time consuming lawsuits. Even if no damages are awarded, you could incur thousands of dollars in legal fees if you aren't covered. You'll pay those defense costs out of your own pocket -- win or lose.

    IMPORTANT: Texas Legislature raised a notary's personal liability by 300% to $10,000.00

    More Notaries are being sued today than ever before. Even worse, costs for legal defense are soaring.

    Through Western Surety, the nation's largest surety company offers you low-cost Errors and Omissions insurance for your protection. Don't go unprotected! You need to protect yourself with Notary Errors and Omissions insurance today!
