Services

Serving Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, and the Greater Los Angeles Area

Professional mobile notarization, at your location, on your schedule

I Come to You

As a California Commissioned Notary Public, I provide on-site notarization services throughout Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, and the greater Los Angeles area. That means you don't have to track down a notary, find parking, or wait in line at a UPS store. I come to your home, office, hospital room, or care facility at a time that works for you.

Every appointment is handled with accuracy, discretion, and respect for the seriousness of what you're signing. Whether you're dealing with estate planning, a real estate transaction, a healthcare directive, or any other important document, I'm here to make the process straightforward.

Trust & Estate Document Signing

A living trust package is a different animal from a single-document notarization, whether an attorney drafted yours or you built it through an online service like LegalZoom or Trust & Will. A typical package has a trust that gets notarized, a will that does not, a power of attorney that needs a thumbprint, a health care directive that can go either way, and a deed that has to be right or the county rejects it.

I hold advanced training in the presentation and execution of trust documents (CNTDA), and I have a page that walks through the whole thing: what happens at the table, what each kind of document is, and exactly what it costs.

Documents I Commonly Notarize

I provide notarization for a wide range of personal, legal, and business documents. The following are among the most common. If you don't see yours listed, contact me and I'll let you know if I can help.

Estate & Healthcare Planning

  • Powers of attorney (general, durable, limited)
  • Advance health care directives
  • Living wills
  • Trusts and trust amendments

Real Estate & Property

  • Grant deeds
  • Quitclaim deeds
  • Interspousal transfer deeds
  • Lease agreements

Legal & Affidavit Documents

Note on vital records: California law does not allow notaries to certify copies of vital records (birth certificates, death certificates, or marriage licenses). For certified copies of these documents, contact the issuing agency directly.

Types of Notarizations

Different documents require different notarial acts. The most common are:

Acknowledgment

The signer appears before the notary and confirms they signed the document willingly. The most common notarial act, used for deeds, powers of attorney, and many legal documents.

Jurat

The signer swears or affirms under penalty of perjury that the contents of the document are true. Used for affidavits, sworn statements, and similar documents.

Oath or Affirmation

A verbal commitment to tell the truth or fulfill a duty. Often used in conjunction with jurats or for witnessing verbal statements.

If you're not sure which type of notarization your document requires, check the signature block at the end of the document. It will typically indicate the notarial act needed, or your document preparer can advise you.

Hospital & Care Facility Signings

Some of the most important documents people need notarized (advance health care directives, powers of attorney, and living wills) are often needed when someone is in a hospital, rehabilitation center, or nursing home. I provide on-site notary services at these facilities throughout my service area.

What to Expect

  • I coordinate my arrival with facility visiting hours and access procedures
  • I verify the signer's awareness and capacity before proceeding, as required by California law
  • I handle the appointment with the care and discretion the setting requires
  • If the document needs witnesses, tell me when you book. I don't serve as a witness on a document I'm notarizing, but I can witness a document that isn't being notarized

Common Documents at These Signings

  • Advance health care directives (AHCD)
  • Durable powers of attorney
  • Living wills
  • Trust amendments
  • Property or financial documents requiring urgent signature
A $25 facility surcharge applies to hospital and care facility appointments. See full pricing.

Important Limitations

In the interest of full transparency, here are some important things to know about what a notary public can and cannot do:

Loan Signings & Mortgage Closings

Loan signings require a separate National Notary Association (NNA) Signing Agent certification. I plan to add this service once I've completed that certification. If you need a loan signing now, I'm happy to refer you.

Legal Advice

A notary public is not an attorney and cannot advise you on what documents to sign, what they mean, or how to fill them out. This is true of all notaries. It is not a service I offer or that any notary can legally provide. If you have questions about the content of your documents, please consult an attorney.
