The notary must always be sure that the person requesting notarial services is competent. Competence simply means that the individual understands the meaning of his actions. The notary must refuse to perform any notarial act for a person who is manifestly incompetent. If an issue of an individual's jurisdiction arises, the notary may consult that person's doctor or attorney.
