Powers of attorney

I notarize durable, general, limited (special) and healthcare powers of attorney. Each signer must be present, carry valid photo ID, and appear willing and aware of what they are signing. If I have concerns about a signer's awareness or see signs of pressure, I pause the signing and contact the attorney before going further. That protects your client and your firm.

Mobile scanbacks at the signer's table

I carry a mobile scanner. Once the documents are signed and notarized, I can scan the executed set and email it back to the attorney before I leave the table, so your office can review it the same day while originals travel by your shipping instructions.
