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.
