📜 **Document Success: Prioritize Notary Certificate Compliance!** 📜 Hey there, document guardians! When it comes to notarizing, the spotlight is on the notary certificate. Here's why it's the star of the show: 🔒 **Ensuring Legitimacy:** The notary certificate adds a seal of legitimacy to the document, verifying its authenticity and your role in the process. 📃 **Compliance is Key:** A properly filled-out notary certificate is a must. It's your assurance that the notarization aligns with legal requirements. 🧐 **Triple-Check Essentials:** From names and dates to the notary's signature, make sure every detail is correct. A small error can lead to big consequences. 🌟 **Maintain Integrity:** A compliant notary certificate showcases your commitment to ethical practices and reinforces the importance of your role. 💼 **Your Professional Signature:** Your signature as a notary carries weight. Ensure it's consistent and clear across all notarizations. Remember, every time you notarize a document, the notary certificate is your guiding star.

Big decision from the Florida Supreme Court in Ripple v. CBS Corporation, et al. The Court unanimously held that a spouse who married the decedent after the injury can recover damages as a “surviving spouse” under Florida’s wrongful death law. The court rejected the argument that the common law “marriage before injury” rule bars such claims. However, the Court stated that in situations where it appears that the surviving spouse’s conduct amounts to an attempt to marry into a wrongful death claim, “Nothing in our decision today prevents juries from considering the timing and duration of a couple’s marriage when evaluating a claim for [such] damages….” The decision will have a direct impact on future survival claims for loss of consortium from surviving spouses, and indirectly on claims of surviving children and other heirs, particularly in the toxic tort realm and other causes of action alleging a latent disease or injury. For more information or questions regarding the Ripple decision or other recent developments in the toxic tort, product liability, catastrophic injury, and environmental litigation landscape please email Hanson Horn at hhorn@cookgrouplegal.com.
