<DIV><FONT size=4>I tried to find what the RCW re: what a notary must do when a
person signs by Mark. I have an old file with notary rules all in RCW
42.44. But in the last 100 years those provisions must have moved?
One form I have used has the following language: </FONT></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal style="WORD-WRAP: break-word; MARGIN: 0in"><SPAN
style="COLOR: "><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" color=#ff0000>On this day
personally appeared____ who executed the instrument by her mark, in my presence,
said instrument having been read to her, she being a person unable to read or
write and she acknowledged to me that she executed the same as her free and
voluntary act and deed for the uses and purposes herein set
forth.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Is that required language when a mark is used? This will
be on a Power of Attorney and the signatory can only make a mark and can’t
verbalize much of anything regarding acknowledging what she is
signing.</FONT></DIV>
