Below is a breakdown of what our notary services entail:
What documents do we work with?
Notaries usually witness signatures on documents such as:

Trusts
Power of attorney documents (which give someone legal authority to act on your behalf)
Loan documents (mortgages, car loans, etc.)
Contracts
What do notaries do?
During a notarization process, a notary will typically perform the following:
Verify the signer's identity: They will ask for a valid government-issued ID (driver's license, passport, etc.) to confirm the signer's identity.
Confirm will: They will ensure that the signatory willingly signs the document and understands its contents. Notaries cannot force anyone to sign a document.
Witness Signature: They will observe the signing process and ensure that it is done correctly.
Complete notarization act: They will fill out and place an official notarial seal on a deed attached to the document, which proves that the deed was made.
In addition:
Administering Oaths and Affirmations (for Affidavits)
Certify photocopies of documents (verifying that they are true copies of the originals)
Taking depositions (sworn witnesses for court proceedings)
