                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

CONFLICT OF INTERESTS (§ 47.1-30)

No notary shall perform any notarial act with respect to any document, writing,
or electronic document to which the notary or his spouse is a party, or in which
either of them has a direct beneficial interest, or where the notary is a
signatory or is named in the document to be notarized, except that a notary
named in a document for the purpose of receiving notices, or named in a document
as executor, trustee, or other fiduciary, shall not, for that reason alone, be
precluded from performing notarial acts with respect to such document.
		Any notary who violates the provisions of this section shall be guilty of
official misconduct.
		A notarial act performed in violation of this section shall not automatically
be void for such reason, but shall be voidable in the discretion of any court of
competent jurisdiction upon the motion of any person injured thereby.
