Under what condition can a notary refuse to execute a document?

If the signer asks too many questions
If the notary is busy with other clients
If the document is known to be false or materially incomplete
If the document does not have a witness

The correct answer is: If the document is known to be false or materially incomplete

A notary can refuse to execute a document if it is known to be false or materially incomplete because a notary's primary responsibility is to verify the authenticity of the documents and the identity of the signers. A notary must not participate in any transaction that involves fraudulent information or that could mislead others. If the document presents inaccuracies or is fundamentally missing crucial information, notarizing it would perpetuate deception, which goes against the ethical standards and legal obligations of a notary public. Notaries are tasked with ensuring the integrity of the notarization process, and refusing to notarize such documents helps maintain the trust and reliability of notarial acts.
