VA Notaries can do Notary Protests but should not!!!

VA code does authorize notary protests. A notary protest is allowed in some states and involves financial transactions. Even in states where it is allowed, the notaries are discouraged from doing a notary protest unless the individual has extensive experience in financial matters.After reading Oregon's protesting commercial paper http://ww.filinginoregon.com/notary/currenttopics/protesting.htm and the National Notary Article Notarize a Protest http.www.nationalnotary.org/news/index.cfm?text=newsnotary&ne...,I have concluded VA notaries should not do notary protests unless they are directly supervised by a lawyer very familiar with banking law!!!!!!!
