I may be paranoid but it really feels safer to me to see buyer / seller in front of me with the attorney in charge, for some bizarre reason, when a person who had an online $100 or less class to become a public notary has the seller / buyer sign legal documents, I don't feel it's a safe way of verifying their identity and generally speaking I feel conducting these large deals with a table closing when all parties are present is way better.. or at least choose an agreed third party to verify identity of all parties (like a different law firm) is that just me being paranoid or is it a legitimate scare?
