If a loved one is living in a nursing home and needs a document notarized, you may not need to transport them to a traditional notary office.

A mobile notary can come to the nursing home.

WeFoundYou.com provides mobile notary services for nursing-home residents, families, attorneys, caregivers, and others who need documents notarized where the signer is located.

We can coordinate a visit to a nursing home, skilled nursing facility, rehabilitation facility, assisted living community, or other appropriate location.

Why People Need Nursing Home Notary Services

A nursing-home resident may need documents notarized for many reasons, including:

• Power of attorney documents
• Financial documents
• Affidavits
• Estate-related documents
• Healthcare-related documents
• Real estate documents
• Business documents
• Other documents requiring notarization

The important thing is that the document should be prepared before the notary arrives.

A notary performs the notarial act. A notary does not determine what legal document you need or provide legal advice.

2. Tell us where the signer is located.

5. The signer meets with the notary.

The signer must satisfy the applicable requirements for the notarial act, including personal appearance and identification requirements.

6. The notarization is completed.

The notary completes the appropriate notarial certificate and journal requirements.

What Should You Have Ready?

Before the appointment:

• Have the document available.
• Do not sign the document prematurely if the notarial certificate requires the signature to be acknowledged or witnessed before the notary.
• Have acceptable identification available when required.
• Confirm any facility visitation requirements.
• If the document requires witnesses, make sure you understand who is responsible for providing them.

What If the Document Is a Healthcare Power of Attorney?

This is particularly important in North Carolina.

A statutory North Carolina health care power of attorney generally requires the principal's signature to be witnessed by two qualified witnesses and acknowledged before a notary public. The law also establishes qualifications and restrictions for those witnesses.

Because the requirements can be important, have the document prepared or reviewed by the appropriate legal professional before scheduling the notarization.
