Our Bedside Signing Process (Compassion + Compliance)

We approach bedside notarizations with empathy and professionalism:

• We work around medical schedules. We coordinate timing to respect nurses, doctors, and care routines.
• Calm, patient appointment flow. We speak clearly, go step-by-step, and allow extra time when needed.
• No legal advice. We can explain the notary process, but we cannot advise on what to sign or interpret legal terms.
• Respectful coordination. We can coordinate with out-of-town family members, caregivers, social workers, or case managers for logistics.
• Infection-control aware. We follow facility protocols and keep the appointment efficient and respectful.

Capacity, Willingness, and When We Must Decline (Important)

For any notarization—especially in medical settings—the signer must be:

• Aware and willing
• Able to communicate (verbally or nonverbally, depending on the situation)
• Not under undue pressure
• Able to present acceptable identification (or meet legal alternatives where permitted)

If we arrive and the signer cannot meet notarial requirements, we may have to decline the notarization. We know that can be disappointing in urgent moments, but it protects your loved one and ensures the notarization is legally valid.

Common red flags we watch for

• Confusion about what’s happening or who people are
• Inability to communicate intent
• Heavy sedation or medical impairment affecting awareness
• Family conflict or pressure in the room

If you’re unsure whether a bedside notarization is appropriate, text us the situation and we’ll help you plan the best next step.

What You’ll Need for a Hospital or Facility Notary Visit

To avoid delays, please be ready with:

• The unsigned document (complete, all pages)
• Unexpired government-issued photo ID for the signer
• Facility details: name, room number, visiting rules, parking/entry instructions
• A point of contact on-site if needed (nurse station, social worker, caregiver)

Important: Please do not sign documents ahead of time. The signer must sign in front of the notary.
