A: You must bring a valid, government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, or state ID card). The ID must be current and not expired. You should also have all the documents that need to be notarized, but please do not sign them beforehand - signatures must be made in the presence of the notary. If witnesses are required, we can provide them or you can bring your own (witnesses must also have valid ID).

A: We offer Certified Notary Trust Delivery Agent (CNTDA) services. A Certified Notary Trust Delivery Agent is a professional specializing in the secure and compliant handling of estate planning and trust documents. We ensure these sensitive documents are correctly notarized and delivered to the appropriate parties, such as attorneys or designated beneficiaries.

A: Not all documents require witnesses, but many do. In Florida, Last Wills and Testaments require two witnesses, Healthcare Directives typically require two witnesses, and some Power of Attorney documents may require witnesses depending on their specific language. Our notary will review your documents during the pre-review process to determine if witnesses are needed and coordinate accordingly.

A: No, Florida law requires that all signatures be made in the physical presence of the notary. If you have already signed your documents, they cannot be legally notarized. You would need to obtain new, unsigned copies of the documents for proper notarization. This is why our pre-review process is so important - we ensure everything is ready before the signing appointment.

A: For regular appointments, we recommend scheduling at least 24-48 hours in advance to ensure availability. Same-day appointments are available based on our schedule, but there is a $25 rush service fee. For weekend appointments in extended service areas (Orlando, Tampa, Winter Park, etc.), please book at least one day in advance. Holiday and after-hours appointments require advance scheduling and carry an additional $75 fee.

A: Our Estate Plan packages include identity verification for all signers, notarial journal documentation, document review and verification, filing instructions, mobile travel fee to your location, and optional witness coordination if needed. The package is designed for clients signing multiple estate documents (typically a Will, Power of Attorney, and Healthcare Directive) at the same appointment, providing significant savings over individual document pricing.

A: Yes, we provide mobile notary services to hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and private residences throughout our service area. However, please note that some medical facilities may have specific visiting hours or requirements. We recommend calling ahead to confirm we can access the facility and that the signer is alert and capable of understanding the documents they are signing, as required by Florida law.

A: We accept cash, credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and Zelle. Payment is due at the completion of the notarization service. For package deals and multiple documents, we provide one comprehensive invoice. If additional documents are added during the appointment, the $25 additional document fee will be added to the final total.

A: During our pre-review process, we carefully examine documents to identify potential issues before signing begins. If we discover problems during the appointment (missing pages, incorrect information, incomplete sections), we will stop the process to prevent invalid notarization. While this may require rescheduling, it protects you from having legally invalid documents. We provide guidance on how to correct issues and can reschedule once documents are properly prepared.

A: We provide notarization services only - we do not prepare, draft, or provide legal advice on estate planning documents. You must have your documents prepared by an attorney, online legal service, or other qualified preparer before our appointment. We recommend having documents reviewed by a qualified attorney, especially for complex estates or situations involving significant assets.

A: Our primary service area includes Longwood, Altamonte Springs, Casselberry, Fern Park, Oviedo, Sanford, Winter Springs, and surrounding Central Florida neighborhoods. Extended weekend service is available to Orlando (Orange County), Apopka, Maitland, Winter Park, and Tampa areas. All pricing includes the mobile travel fee regardless of location within our service areas - there are no additional mileage charges or location-based fees.

A: No. As a Notary Public, we are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice or prepare legal documents. Our role is limited to verifying identities and witnessing signatures. For legal advice, please consult with a qualified attorney.
