The proposed bill defines a vulnerable adult as “a person 18 years of age or older whose ability to perform normal activities of daily living or to provide for his or her own care or protection is impaired due to mental, emotional, sensory, long-term physical, or developmental disability or dysfunction, or brain damage, or the infirmities of aging.”
Keep in mind that a “vulnerable adult” does NOT mean that the person lacks mental capacity to understand the nature and effect of the document he/she is signing. In that circumstance, the notary public may not notarize the signature.
