My Story

Whether you need a loan signing, estate documents, general notarizations, wedding officiant, or business services, I bring professionalism and attention to detail to every appointment.
What I Offer
An acknowledgment is the most common notarial act - I verify your identity, witness your signature, and confirm you're signing of your own free will. This is required on a wide range of documents including deeds, powers of attorney, loan documents, and contracts. If you're not sure whether your document needs an acknowledgment, bring it along and I'll take a look.
A jurat is used when a document requires a sworn statement - you sign in my presence and take an oath or affirmation that the contents are true. Common examples include affidavits, sworn declarations, and certain court filings. I'll administer the oath and complete the notarial certificate to make your document legally valid.
Need a verified copy of an important document? I can certify that a photocopy is a true and accurate reproduction of the original. This is commonly used for passports, diplomas, business records, and other personal documents. Note that state laws vary on which documents can be copy-certified - I'll confirm eligibility at the time of your appointment.
Sometimes a document or legal proceeding requires a verbal oath or affirmation without a written signature - I'm authorized to administer both. An oath invokes a solemn promise; an affirmation is a non-religious alternative that carries the same legal weight. This service is often requested for depositions, court-related matters, and official proceedings.

Please note that I do not draft wills or provide legal advice - your document should be completed before your appointment.
A living trust is a powerful estate planning tool that allows your assets to pass to your beneficiaries without going through probate. I'm experienced in notarizing full trust packages and can handle multi-document signings at your home or office. Your estate planning attorney will typically prepare the documents - I take care of the notarization.
A certification of trust is an abbreviated document that confirms the existence of a trust and the trustee's authority, without revealing all the details of the full trust agreement. It's commonly required by banks, title companies, and financial institutions. I can notarize your certification of trust quickly and confidentially.
An affidavit is a written sworn statement used in a wide variety of legal and personal situations - from court proceedings to financial institutions to government agencies.
