Power of Attorney & Healthcare Directive Notarization at Home in PA
g1 2025 by Christian Nichols
When a family member needs a power of attorney or healthcare directive notarized, travel can be hard. I visit homes, hospitals, and nursing facilities across Western PA to verify ID and witness signatures where your loved one is most comfortable.
What I Bring
- Stamped notary journal and seals compliant with PA law.
- Portable printer and scan-back capability upon request.
- Guidance on witness placement (I do not provide legal advice).
How to Prepare the Signer
- Ensure the signer is alert and willing; I must refuse if capacity is unclear.
- Have valid photo ID ready.
- Arrange witnesses if the document requires them; some facilities can assist.
- Leave signature lines blank until I arrive.
FAQs
Can you notarize multiple POAs in one visit?
Yes. Share the number of documents and signers so I can quote time and witnesses accurately.
Do you help draft the documents?
No. Please have documents prepared by you or your attorney. I verify identity and notarize signatures.
What if the signer is in hospice?
I can visit promptly and keep the appointment brief. The signer must still be aware and willing.
