We are not attorneys and this page is general information, not legal advice. We cannot tell you which form or document you need, what to put on it, or what it means legally. For legal help, see a Florida attorney or the court's self-help program.
What is it?
A living trust is a legal document that sets out how your assets are held and managed. Signing the trust and its companion documents often involves a notary.
Our role is limited to the notary visit. We verify identity, watch each signer sign, and complete the notarial certificate. We do not draft trusts or advise on them.
Who needs it?
- Clients who already have their trust documents prepared and need them notarized.
- Seniors and families who would rather sign at home or at a care facility than travel to an office.
- Attorneys and planners who want a reliable mobile notary for client signings in Sarasota and Manatee counties.
What’s included
- A mobile visit to your home, office, or care facility
- Identity verification of every signer under Florida notary rules
- Notarization of the signatures on documents that call for it
- Careful handling of multi-page signing packets
- Your completed originals returned to you at the visit
What isn’t included
- Drafting or editing a trust, or deciding whether a trust is right for you
- Legal advice about what to sign, how assets should be titled, or how a trust affects taxes or probate
- Funding the trust or retitling accounts
- Determining whether witnesses are needed. We do not determine witnesses or the need for witnesses
Frequently asked questions
Does my living trust have to be notarized?
That depends on your documents, and we cannot advise on it. Our article Does a living trust need to be notarized? explains what a notary does at a trust signing.
Can you create my trust?
No. We are not attorneys and we do not draft trusts.
What should I bring to the signing?
Your documents exactly as they were prepared, and a valid, unexpired government photo ID for every signer. We will confirm anything else when you book.
Do you come to assisted living or memory care?
We travel to care facilities in our service area. The signer must be present, willing, and able to communicate their decision for a notarization to be completed.
Can you notarize if the signer is not sure what they are signing?
No. A notary cannot notarize for a signer who does not appear willing and aware. We recommend the signer first speak with whoever prepared the documents.
