Not sure this is the right document? Say so when you call — if it is a legal question we will tell you, rather than guess.
What this is
A power of attorney only matters on the day you cannot act for yourself — traveling, unavailable, or unable to manage your own affairs — and that is the one day it can no longer be signed. If no one was authorized while you could still sign, the question of who acts for you can belong to a court, not to the person you would have chosen.
We prepare the power of attorney you direct us to prepare, worded the way you tell us, and we notarize it: identity verified the way the law requires, the notarial certificate completed, and the journal entry kept. If your attorney has already drawn one, we notarize that too.
Good to know
A durable power of attorney stays in effect if the person who made it can no longer manage their own affairs; an ordinary power of attorney does not. Which one your document should be — and what powers it should grant — are decisions that belong to you and your advisors; choosing for you would be legal advice, and we do not give it. To be valid, a power of attorney generally must be signed and notarized, and some states also require witness signatures. This is general information, not legal advice.

How it works
From the first call to the recorded copy
Most people have never done this before and are doing it at a difficult moment. So here is the whole thing, in order, with nothing left out.
We travel to you by appointment, including evenings and weekends.
-
You call or text us
Tell us what has to be protected and where the property is. If it is not something we should be doing for you, we say so on that first call.
-
A short intake
We confirm the names, how title is currently held, the parcel number, and exactly how the document should read. Then we tell you what to have ready — current photo ID for every signer, and the existing deed if you have it.
-
We prepare the documents you direct us to prepare
Drafted from what you told us and formatted to the recorder’s requirements, then sent to you to read before anyone signs anything.
-
Your documents are signed and notarized
Every signer shows current photo ID, and we complete the notarial certificate and the journal entry the law requires. Prefer us to come to you? Our mobile service is available as a premium upgrade — wherever is convenient, on your schedule.
-
Your home deed is recorded with the county
The deed goes to the recorder for the property’s county — requirements vary by county, and the document is formatted to the right one — with the correct cover sheet and the correct fees, which are passed through to you at cost.
-
You get the recorded copy
The recorded document is emailed to you as soon as it comes back, and the original is mailed with the right postage and mail class. You keep your originals; we retain only the journal record the law requires.
