Why do notaries need insurance?

From divorces to business transactions, people rely on you to perform your duties professionally. But if a document is rejected, it could results in delays and fines for a client. Business insurance covers legal defense costs if you're sued for an error or negligence. It can also pay for medical bills, property repairs, and the cost of recovering from a data breach or cyberattack.
