If a notary willingly and knowingly notarizes a real estate document that they know to be fraudulent, they are guilty of a

  1. felony

  2. misdemeanor

  3. civil infraction

  4. simple mistake

The correct answer is: felony

This is because notarizing a fraudulent document is a serious offense and can have significant legal and financial consequences. Option B, misdemeanor, is considered a less serious offense compared to a felony and may not carry the same level of punishment. Option C, civil infraction, is typically reserved for minor civil offenses and does not apply to the situation described in the question. Option D, simple mistake, does not accurately reflect the intention or knowledge of the notary in this scenario. It is important for notaries to thoroughly review documents before notarizing them to avoid any potential legal issues.
