POA: Loan Officer Acting As Notary

Answered by: 

Question: 
We are located in Pennsylvania. The Power of Attorney laws changed January 1, 2015​,​ and now require our loan documents to be notarized when a confession of judgment clause is present. Many of our loan officers are notaries. Do you see a conflict if a loan officer who approved the loan also acts as the notary when documents are signed? Loan officers do not receive commissions.
Answer: 

I believe you will have to look to PA law re notaries for your answer. The notary is supposed to be independent of the transaction.
