House Plants

I went over a year without a plant in my life. I had sold off all my indoor and outdoor potted plants when the house sold. There is just something about plants that make a house a home, fresh and appealing. I've missed my babies. Recently a friend moved from Washington to California and before she left, she made babies of some of the plants I had given her. In addition, she loaded me up with several plants she wasn't able to take with her. It took a couple truck loads just to move the plants she did take. It took me a couple carloads to bring the ones for me that she gave me. All of which are now growing happily in the house where I am at. A couple are in despair thanks to Sylvester who happens to love chewing on them. There are not enough high windows to protect all of them, so it's a bit of a battle between him and I to keep him out of them. He's getting better, learning takes time. I'm still on the hunt to replace a few that I had and enjoyed growing. During my hunt I've come across a few good links to share for those interested in house plants. Whether a seasoned grower or brand new to growing these are some great links.

Get it Notarized!

Why get it Notarized  ? 

Here's a great article to help understand the WHY ~ 

https://legalknowledgebase.com/why-do-documents-need-to-be-notarized

I admit I went to Bing for the following list ~ @ this link Bing search

Notarizing a document is essential for preventing fraud, ensuring authenticity, and 

facilitating legal transactions, making it a crucial step in many important agreements.

1. Fraud Prevention: One of the primary reasons to notarize a document is to deter  fraud. A notary public verifies the identity of the signers, ensuring that they are  who they claim to be and that they are signing willingly. This process significantly reduces the risk of forgery or misrepresentation. 

   2
2. Document Authenticity: Notarization provides an official endorsement of a  document's validity. When a notary public stamps and signs a document, it  confirms that the document has been executed properly and can be trusted by   authorities and institutions. 

   2
3. Legal Compliance: Many legal documents, such as real estate transactions, wills, powers of attorney, and contracts, require notarization to be considered valid and enforceable. Without notarization, these documents may not hold up in court or may not be accepted by financial institutions. 

   2
4. Official Record: Notarization creates an official record of the signing process,  which can be useful in case of future disputes regarding the document. The  notary public keeps a log of all notarized documents, which can serve as  evidence in legal proceedings. 

   2
5. Increased Trustworthiness: Having a document notarized often enhances its  perceived legitimacy. Financial institutions and government agencies are more  likely to accept notarized documents, knowing they have undergone a verification process.

Conclusion

In summary, notarizing a document is a vital step in many legal and financial  transactions. It not only helps prevent fraud and ensures authenticity but also  provides legal protection and increases the trustworthiness of the document.  Whether you are finalizing a real estate deal, executing a will, or entering into a  business agreement, notarization is an important safeguard for all parties  involved.

 Commonly Notarized Documents

Importance of Notarization

Notarization serves to verify the identity of the signers, ensure that they  understand the document's contents, and confirm that they are signing  willingly. This process helps prevent fraud and ensures that the documents are legally binding.

Exceptions

While many documents can be notarized, some cannot, such as birth and  death certificates, which must be obtained from the issuing authority.  Additionally, if a document is incomplete or if the signer cannot provide  proper identification, notarization may be refused.

In summary, notarization is a crucial step for many important documents,  providing legal assurance and preventing potential disputes. Always check  local laws and regulations regarding notarization requirements for specific  documents
