Notary services typically involve a notary public, a licensed official who acts as an impartial witness to the signing of important documents. The role of a notary public is to verify the identity of the signer, ensure they are signing willingly, and confirm that they understand the contents of the document. Notaries may also administer oaths and affirmations.
Common documents that might require notarization include:
- Real estate transactions
- Power of attorney
- Wills and trusts
- Contracts
- Affidavits
- Loan documents
