Frequently Asked Questions
A will may require witnesses, notarization, or both, depending on how it is prepared and the applicable requirements. Follow the instructions provided by the attorney or document preparer.
Yes. Mobile appointments are available at hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, assisted living communities, and hospice facilities, subject to facility rules and signer readiness.
Can a family member sign for someone else?
A person may sign only when legally authorized to do so, such as through a valid power of attorney. The notary cannot determine whether that authority is legally sufficient.
Can you provide witnesses?
Witness coordination may be available upon request. Requirements and additional fees should be confirmed before the appointment.
What happens if the signer does not have identification?
The notarization may need to be postponed unless another identification method is allowed and arranged in advance.
Can documents be signed before the notary arrives?
Documents requiring an acknowledgment may sometimes be signed beforehand, while documents requiring a witnessed signature or oath generally must be signed in the notary’s presence. It is usually best to wait unless instructed otherwise.
Can the notary explain the documents?
No. A notary may identify the document but cannot provide legal advice or explain its legal effect.
