NEW YORK – Natasha Richardson, a gifted and precocious heiress to acting royalty whose career highlights included the film "Patty Hearst" and a Tony-winning performance in a stage revival of "Cabaret," died Wednesday at age 45 after suffering a head injury during a beginners' ski lesson.

Alan Nierob, the Los Angeles-based publicist for Richardson's husband Liam Neeson, confirmed her death in a written statement.

"Liam Neeson, his sons (Micheal, 13, and 12-year-old Daniel), and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha," the statement said. "They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."

Important Changes For All VA Notaries To Know

"Here are some important changes in Virginia law that will be effective July 1, 2008:
• You may notarize a document without the notarial certificate being on the same page as the signature(s) being notarized, however the notarial certificate must include the name(s) of each person whose signature is being notarized.
• You must now affix a sharp, legible, permanent, and photographically reproducible image of the official seal near the notary’s official signature on the notarial certificate on a paper document" There are now significant criminal consequences for both notaries and supervisors of notaries for criminal misconduct!!!!!

Notary Supplies

VA notaries only need a pen,their commission expiration date, a reproducible seal (effective July 1, 2008) , and appointment number to legally notarize in VA. Private companies sell seals, crimps, and notary stamps to notaries. Even if a business bought the notary supplies, the business does not own the notary stamp or seals. If the notary leaves, the notary needs to take the notary seals or stamps or destroy them. A business employing the notary can not require the notary to turn the fees collected by notary over to the business.Frequently, the business does not charge for the notary service.
