I am a lawyer who conducts real estate or corporate closings that involve multiple documents. Do I have to record each individual document in the journal?
No. Section 11(c) (3) of the Executive Order specifically states that you may record as a single journal entry a transaction or proceeding that involves multiple documents signed by the same principal in the course of that transaction occurring on the same day. For example, if you notarize multiple documents at a corporate closing, you may include a single entry that describes the proceeding – “ABC and XYZ merger” – followed by the other information that is required by the Executive Order.
