QUESTION: Can the notarization of a Qualified Beneficiary Declaration be credited as pro bono legal aid service?
ANSWER: Yes. The notarization of a Qualified Beneficiary Declaration is considered a pro bono legal aid service rendered in favor of a Qualified Beneficiary.
However, the Covered Lawyer who performs the notarization must not be the same lawyer who examines the affidavit, interviews the Qualified Beneficiary, and executes the Covered
Lawyer’s Certification. [Section 2(e), Rule 4, Manual; Section 5, Rule 5, Manual)
Note: CD Law fully supports the Unified Legal Aid Service and renders free notarization of documents of Qualified Beneficiaries. For appointment, call Maribel at (033) 3383602
