An Act making technical changes to the laws regulating a certain notarial act

This bill updates Massachusetts laws governing notaries public to clarify how they handle documents signed by individuals acting on behalf of others, such as partnerships or corporations. It explicitly allows notaries to use forms that acknowledge a signer's representative capacity without necessarily acknowledging the deed itself as the act of the principal owner. The legislation also revises the standard notary form to include specific language for representative signatures and removes the word "free" from certain legal definitions and forms. These changes aim to provide clearer guidance for notaries while maintaining flexibility in how they perform their duties.
