Services
Remote Online Notarization
Our Remote Online Notarization (RON) service enables secure document execution through video conferencing. Clients complete knowledge-based authentication and credential analysis before notarization. The process creates verifiable digital signatures with audit trails while maintaining compliance across state lines. This solution particularly benefits clients needing urgent document processing without compromising security.
In-Person Notarization
We provide vetted mobile notaries for face-to-face document execution across the United States. Our real-time location tracking system offers Uber-like updates for signer convenience. Each appointment includes thorough ID verification and document review to ensure error-free completion within 10-15 minutes.
Hybrid Signing
Our hybrid solution merges digital and traditional methods, allowing electronic signatures for ancillary documents while maintaining physical execution for wills. This approach provides flexibility without compromising legal requirements, ensuring complete estate plans get executed efficiently and correctly.
Document Review
Before any signing, we conduct comprehensive document reviews comparing file names to contents, verifying name consistency, and checking formatting elements. This critical quality control step prevents errors in footers, property addresses, and notary blocks to ensure document validity.
Binder Assembly
We professionally assemble estate planning documents using client-specific templates. Our process includes high-resolution scanning, electronic deed recording, and custom binder creation with optional video walkthroughs for client approval before final delivery.
