Patients should be coherent and willing to sign documents when the notary arrives. It’s best to discuss the purpose of the document and the reason for the notary visit beforehand, so the patient is prepared and understands what they are signing. Please note, notaries are not attorneys and cannot offer legal advice or explain document details.

Notaries cannot create documents (e.g., healthcare directives, affidavits, wills) unless they hold specific credentials like a licensed document preparer or attorney. If you need any of these documents notarized, please have them ready and unsigned before the notary’s arrival.

Some legal documents require witnesses. Many healthcare facilities DO NOT allow staff members to serve as witnesses, so it’s important to confirm this policy before booking your notary appointment. If needed, we can arrange witnesses for an additional fee.

By adhering to these guidelines and preparing in advance, we help ensure a seamless notarization experience. Our friendly team at CT Notary Near Me is dedicated to delivering compassionate notary services tailored to the unique needs of healthcare facilities and patients across Fairfield and New Haven County.
