Your estate plan will undoubtedly contain documents that need to be notarized. That is where a notary comes. Notaries are commissioned by the Secretary of State. We play an important role in preventing fraud. You might call us the first line of defense. Although we don’t draft your documents, we scan them to make sure there are no blank spaces where someone could add info after the fact. And most importantly we make sure the signers are of sound mind and are not being forced or coerced to sign something that they don’t want to.
If you’re going it alone, I would strongly advise getting a free consultation with an attorney. When it comes to your family, your assets, and your final wishes, it’s worth it to speak with a professional.
Every attorney is unique and can offer you different services. Some attorneys may have a basic and an advanced estate plan. Others may offer a will package. Or should you find yourself in an emergency situation, you may need to execute a Healthcare Directive or create a Power of Attorney a.s.a.p. to protect a loved one. You may not be thinking clearly in such a stressful situation. With so much at stake, you definitely need to ensure that you’re utilizing the correct forms that the hospital or bank will accept.
With multiple options available and each client having their own unique set of circumstances, I need to have a clear understanding of your situation.
Please fill out this brief form so I can get an understanding of your needs and your timeframe.
