Arkansas Notary Practice Test

One of the responsibilities of a witness when a third party signs on behalf of someone is to confirm the inability of the person to sign. This means that the person who is signing on behalf of another is stating that the individual for whom they are signing cannot physically or legally sign the document. This is important because it ensures that the third party is not signing without the person's knowledge or consent. The other options are incorrect because - A: While verifying the authenticity of the document is important, it is not the responsibility of the witnesses in this scenario. This would be the responsibility of the person who created the document or the recipient of the document. - B: While confirming the identity of the signer may be necessary in some situations, it is not relevant in this scenario because the third party is not signing their own name, but on behalf of someone else. - D: Notarizing a document involves the notary public certifying the identity of the signer and witnessing their signature. This is not the responsibility of the witnesses in this case.
