Notary Public

 

By Appointment Only

I may not always answer emergency Notarizations, but text me 278  0822.

Documents I Can Notarize

I am available to assist with a wide variety of standard paperwork, including but not limited to:

• Legal & Estate Documents: Wills, trusts, power of attorney forms, medical directives, and minor travel consent forms.

• Business & Financial Forms: Contracts, commercial leases, corporate agreements, and employment verification paperwork.

• Automotive & Property Documents: Vehicle title transfers, bills of sale, and certain property affidavits.

What You Need to Bring to Your Appointment

To ensure a smooth and successful notarization, please remember the following:

1. Do Not Sign Yet: Documents must be signed directly in my presence during our appointment.

2. Bring Valid ID: Every signer must present a current, unexpired government-issued photo ID (such as a Texas Driver’s License, State ID, or US Passport).

3. Complete the Form: Ensure the document is filled out entirely except for the signature lines. I cannot notarize documents with blank spaces.
