A Notary Public is an official representative of the state who witnesses and screens the signers of a variety of important documents to verify their identity, their comprehension of the documents they are about to sign, and their willingness to sign a document without being under coercion or duress.
Wills, Trusts, Property Deeds, and Power of Attorney forms are some of the documents that might require Notary services. A Notary who specializes in working with seniors will have the additional benefit of being sympathetic to the unique concerns of an older adult signing such documents. They proceed with the utmost caution to ensure a smooth process and make the senior in question feel at ease. They carefully take these steps: selecting a time for the transaction when the senior is relaxed and not agitated or under stress, explaining their role to the senior and helping them have a clear understanding of what the process entails, and discerning their awareness by having them repeat back what it is they are about to sign.
