Common Questions

Estate Document FAQs

Do you visit nursing homes?

Yes. We regularly visit nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospice locations to notarize estate documents for residents.

What if the signer has memory issues?

We use professional judgment to assess whether a signer appears to understand the document. In cases of uncertainty, we may recommend involving the family’s attorney before proceeding.

Do wills need to be notarized in California?

California wills are typically valid with two witnesses and don’t require notarization, but a notarized self-proving affidavit can simplify probate. We notarize the affidavit, not the will itself.

Can you serve as a witness too?

Yes, in many cases we can serve as one of the required witnesses in addition to notarizing accompanying documents.

How do you coordinate with our attorney?

We’re happy to communicate directly with your estate planning attorney to confirm document requirements and scheduling before the appointment.
