Mobile Notary Services

A mobile notary is a notary public who travels to clients’ locations to perform notarial services. This can be especially convenient for individuals or businesses that need documents notarized but are unable to visit a notary’s office due to time constraints, mobility issues, or other reasons.

Services provided by mobile notaries typically include:

  1. Witnessing Signatures: Verifying the identity of signers and witnessing the signing of documents.
  2. Acknowledgements: Certifying that the signer of a document has acknowledged signing it willingly.
  3. Oaths and Affirmations: Administering oaths and affirmations for sworn statements.
  4. Jurats: Certifying that the signer has sworn to the truthfulness of the contents of the document.

Common documents that may require notarization include:

  • Legal contracts
  • Real estate documents
  • Loan documents
  • Power of attorney
  • Affidavits
  • Wills and trusts

Benefits of using a mobile notary:

  • Convenience: Notaries come to your location, whether it’s your home, office, hospital, or any other place.
  • Flexibility: Many mobile notaries offer extended hours, including evenings and weekends.
  • Time-saving: Eliminates the need to travel to a notary’s office.

If you’re looking for a mobile notary, you can often find them through online directories, local listings, or notary organizations.

Power Of Attorneys

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants one person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) the authority to act on behalf of another person (the principal) in various matters. The scope and duration of this authority can vary depending on the type of POA and the specific instructions provided within the document. Here are some common types of POA:

  1. General Power of Attorney: Grants broad powers to the agent to manage the principal’s affairs, including financial and legal matters. This type usually ends if the principal becomes incapacitated.

  2. Durable Power of Attorney: Remains in effect even if the principal becomes incapacitated. It can cover the same broad range of powers as a general POA.

  3. Limited or Special Power of Attorney: Grants the agent authority to handle specific tasks or transactions, such as selling a property or managing a bank account. This type of POA usually ends once the specific task is completed.

  4. Healthcare Power of Attorney: Grants the agent authority to make medical decisions on behalf of the principal if they are unable to make decisions themselves.

Affidavits

An affidavit is a written statement made under oath or affirmation, used as evidence in court. Here are the key elements typically included in an affidavit:

  1. Title: “Affidavit” at the top of the document.
  2. Affiant Information: The person making the affidavit (affiant) must be clearly identified, usually with their full name, address, and occupation.
  3. Statement of Facts: A detailed account of the facts the affiant is attesting to, written in a clear and concise manner.
  4. Oath or Affirmation: A statement that the affiant swears or affirms that the information is true to the best of their knowledge.
  5. Signature: The affiant’s signature at the end of the document.
  6. Notary Public: A section where a notary public or other authorized officer witnesses the affiant’s signature and affixes their seal.

Affidavits are used in various legal proceedings, such as in support of motions, to provide evidence, or to verify documents. They are an important tool for presenting information in a formal and legally recognized manner.

Quit Claim Deeds

 

A quitclaim deed is a legal document used to transfer interest in real property. The person transferring the property, known as the grantor, conveys any interest they have in the property to the recipient, called the grantee. Quitclaim deeds are commonly used in situations where the grantor and grantee know each other, such as between family members, divorcing spouses, or to clear up title issues.

Key characteristics of a quitclaim deed include:

  1. No Warranties: The grantor does not guarantee that they have a clear title to the property. They are simply transferring whatever interest they have, if any. This means there could be other claims or liens on the property that the grantee may not be aware of.

  2. Speed and Simplicity: Quitclaim deeds are relatively simple and quick to execute, making them useful for straightforward transactions.

  3. Use Cases:

    • Family Transactions: Transferring property between family members, such as from parents to children.
    • Divorce Settlements: One spouse transferring their interest in jointly owned property to the other spouse.
    • Clearing Title Defects: Addressing issues in the chain of title, such as correcting misspellings or recording errors.
  4. Execution and Recording: To be valid, a quitclaim deed must be signed by the grantor and often needs to be notarized. The deed should then be recorded with the appropriate government office, usually the county recorder or land registry office, to provide public notice of the transfer.

Because quitclaim deeds offer no guarantees about the property’s title, they should be used with caution, especially in arms-length transactions or when the history of the property’s title is uncertain.
