Estate planning signing services in Brooklyn & NYC
Your client can't come to the office, and you can't spend half a day traveling to a nursing home. Send us the package. A New York notary with more than 20 years of paralegal, title and signing experience completes the execution at your client's bedside or kitchen table and returns it to your office, correctly executed.

Our role
Notarial and signing support, under your direction
We provide mobile notarial and signing support according to the attorney's instructions. We are not attorneys. We do not give legal advice, prepare or draft legal documents, select legal strategies, or explain the legal effect of any document to your clients.
Your office prepares the documents and decides how each one is executed. We carry out that execution: identity checks, witnessing where you direct, notarization, and returning the package to you.
Not working with an attorney?
Individual notarizations
If you already have a document and simply need it notarized, such as a power of attorney your attorney prepared or an affidavit, book our mobile notary service. We come to homes, hospitals and nursing homes across Brooklyn and NYC.
Why firms use us

Why experience matters
One missed formality can undo the whole plan
Estate documents are signed once, often by clients who are elderly, ill or homebound. If a witness line is missed, a trust isn't acknowledged, or a certificate doesn't match the act, the document can be challenged or rejected. A re-signing is not always possible later.
With 20 years as a paralegal, title closer and signing agent, we know how these documents fit together. We check names against ID, follow your signing order, confirm every signature, initial, date and witness line, and complete the right acknowledgment or jurat for each page before we leave the room.
We work only under your direction. We don't give your clients legal advice, choose documents or explain their legal effect. Questions go to you, and we can call you from the signing so your client hears the answer from their attorney.
Execution formalities we follow
New York requirements at a glance
- Power of attorney: notarized plus two witnesses, one of whom can be the notary
- Lifetime trust: acknowledged before a notary, or signed in front of two witnesses
- Transfer-on-death deed: signed in front of two witnesses, notarized, and recorded before the owner's death
- Health care proxy: two adult witnesses, neither of them the agent
- Wills: executed under your supervision, with attesting witnesses and a self-proving affidavit if you use one
We follow your instructions on every execution. Your office decides the formalities for each document.
The white-glove difference
What your office gets with every signing
Before
Package review
We review the documents and your instructions in advance and flag anything that looks incomplete, such as a missing page or a name that doesn't match.
Before
Scheduling with families
We coordinate the time with the client, family and facility staff, and confirm the client's ID and witnesses ahead of time.
During
A calm, unhurried ceremony
We go at the client's pace, explain each step and never rush a signature. If a client seems confused or unwilling, we stop and call you.
During
Witness support
We can serve as one witness or as the notary, and we help arrange additional witnesses who aren't named in the documents.
After
Quality check
Every page is checked again before we leave. Our notary journal records each act, the ID presented and who was present.
After
Return as instructed
Originals come back to your office by hand, courier or overnight, as you instruct, with scans first if you need them.

For law firms
Attorneys: Arrange a mobile estate-planning signing

What we need from your office
- Documents in final form, with your signing order
- Execution instructions: who signs, who witnesses, which certificates

- Location, facility unit or room, and best contact for timing
- Whether you need us as a witness, and who else will witness

Where we go
Signings wherever the client is
Homes
At the family home
Homebound and elderly clients sign at their own kitchen table, with family nearby if they'd like.
Hospitals
Bedside signings
We work around rounds and treatment, and time the signing for when the client is most alert.
Care facilities
Nursing homes & rehab
We follow each facility's check-in rules and work with staff on a quiet space for the ceremony.
Hospital and nursing home visits follow the same approach as our mobile notarization service, including what the signer needs ready: photo ID, witnesses who are not named in the documents, and a time when they are alert.

Questions
Before you book
Do you work directly with estate planning attorneys?
Yes. We work with estate planning attorneys and their staff, from your documents and execution instructions and return the package to your office.
Can you supervise a will signing?
No. Will executions are supervised by the attorney. We can serve as a witness, or notarize the witnesses' self-proving affidavit, under your direction.
Can the notary also be a witness?
For a New York power of attorney, yes, the notary can be one of the two witnesses. For other documents, we follow your instructions on who witnesses and who notarizes.
What if the client seems confused at the signing?
We stop and call you. A notary must be satisfied that the signer understands and is signing willingly, and we won't proceed otherwise.
Do you work with out-of-state attorneys whose clients live in NYC?
Yes. We follow your execution instructions for your state's formalities. The notarization itself is performed under New York law, so confirm your state accepts it.
How quickly can you schedule?
Often within a day or two, and same-day, evening and late-night executions are available for urgent matters, such as a client in the hospital.
How do you return the originals?
However you instruct: hand delivery, courier or overnight shipping, with scans first if you need them.
Can families book an estate signing directly?
Yes, when the documents were prepared by their attorney. For questions about which documents to sign, we refer families back to their attorney.
