Are you saying that the trustor signed the amendment in front of the attorney... but no notary was present... and then the notary later notarized the document?.
.
Did the notary know the trustor?
.
Did they confirm that the trustor had signed it?
I hope I was able to clear up any questions you had about the situation.
