ESTATE
Notary and witnesses for wills, powers of attorney and trusts

FAQ
Common questions
Do you provide witnesses?
Yes, on request. Wills usually need two witnesses who are not beneficiaries. Let us know when you book.
Can you draft a will or power of attorney?
No. Documents must be prepared by the signer or their attorney. We handle the signing, notarization and witnesses.
Can the attorney join by phone?
Yes. Many attorneys call in to supervise. We're happy to set the time around their schedule.
How many witnesses does a will need?
That depends on the document and the attorney's instructions. Tell us what the attorney requires and we'll bring that many.
