Ensuring Document Authenticity
One of the primary roles of a notary in estate planning and probate processes is to ensure the authenticity of legal documents. By verifying the identities of the signatories and confirming their willingness to sign, a notary adds an extra layer of security and legitimacy to the documents. Total Signing’s experienced notaries are skilled in performing these crucial authentication procedures, ensuring that your estate planning and probate documents are legally binding and enforceable.
Witnessing Signatures and Oaths
Another vital responsibility of a notary is to witness the signing of documents and administer oaths when required. In estate planning, where wills and trusts are created, having a notary present during the signing process helps establish the validity of the documents. During probate processes, a notary can also play a crucial role in witnessing the signing of affidavits, sworn statements, and other legal documents. At Total Signing, our notaries are trained to perform these duties with precision and professionalism, ensuring compliance with the legal requirements of the state of Florida.
