 * Suspension of Attorney

Info
"The Court opts to suspend respondent lawyer as a notary public for two months, instead of six months as the IBP had recommended. We are impelled by the following reasons for taking this course of action:
 * first, the apparent absence of bad faith in her notarizing the SPA in question;


 * second, the civil case wherein the flawed SPA was used ended up in a judicial Compromise Agreement; and

In addition, respondent lawyer invites our attention to the fact that she is already in the twilight years of her life"
 * finally, this is her first administrative case since she was commissioned as a Notary Public in 1973.
