Any agreement that two parties make can be legally enforced, whether it’s written or verbal. … Getting the contract notarized proves each party signed the document (since no one can claim their signature was forged). The document has the notary’s mark and seal. Notarial Affidavits denotes verification of person making a legal declaration. It is used as a documentary evidence before the Court of Law.

Agreements on the contract are enforceable once the document is notarized because it is a strong proof of the document’s authenticity. A legally-binding document is simply one that establishes an agreement between two parties, entailing that certain actions are either required or restricted. An example of a basic contract is one between a real estate agency and a seller. … A document that is legally binding is one that can be enforced by a court.
