Notary for an Elderly Parent in a Nursing Home
Does Your Elderly Parent Need a Notary?
If your mother or father lives in a nursing home, you may be wondering:
“How am I going to get a notary to my parent?”
The answer may be a mobile notary.
Instead of moving your parent out of the facility, you can arrange for the notary to come to them.
Common Family Situations
You may need a notary because your parent is:
- Updating financial documents
- Completing estate paperwork
- Signing a Power of Attorney
- Signing an affidavit
- Completing a property transaction
- Executing another document requiring notarization
Start With the Document
Before arranging a notary, determine exactly what document needs notarization.
If the document concerns legal rights, estate planning, healthcare decisions, or financial authority, consult the appropriate attorney or professional.
What You Should Know
The notary is responsible for the notarial act—not for deciding whether the document is legally appropriate.
North Carolina law requires personal appearance for ordinary notarial acts and establishes rules regarding identification and other aspects of the notarial process.
