True or False: A surety bond protects the notary.

Explanation:
A notary bond is designed to protect the public, not the notary. It acts as a financial safety net for people who suffer losses due to a notary’s improper acts or errors. If someone is harmed by a notarial act, the bond can compensate that party up to the set limit, with the notary responsible to reimburse the surety. It does not serve as insurance for the notary’s personal protection or guarantee that the notary won’t face liability.
