If you actually read the Notary Public Act sections you referenced in you post, you will see that it doesn't cover what troutman mentioned. Where does it say that a Notary can 'make (a will) a public record', to put it in your words?
If a client comes to me with a will that is already signed and asks me to make a copy and certify that it is a true copy, that I will do. If that same person comes to me and asks me to affix my seal to their signature, no dice. You can put all the crap you want in a letter to the client about not having given legal advice, but as a lawyer, when that document is presented to you and you are asked to 'notarize' the signature of the testator, you'd be crazy to do it as a notary without giving an opinion.
Once again Tower, you don't get to define what the law is, the legal system does that (as I've told you before). You don't get to decide what a Notary is liable for or is not liable for and your opinion in that regard carries no weight whatsoever.
By the way, this crap about understand vs. stand under, and stand under being a more legal concept is such utter crap I don't even know how to reply. You seem to be just making s*** up now. I've never even heard that kind of nonsense from the other nutters that make this kind of thing their life's work. Does it actually make sense to you when you write gibberish like that?

Does not the Blacks Law Dictonary, Oxford Law Dictionary and others define LAW for everyone within the LAW society?
What if you are not a part of the LAW society? hmmmm If I am not a part of LAW society who makes up these rules then therefore I am not to understand them.
This is all moot as a Notary is easy to find and a lawyer is not needed.
One thing I do know is that the Lawyer will spend all of a persons money to prove the Lawyer is right.
