For patients and families

• Durable powers of attorney and advance health care directives
• Trust, deed and banking documents
• Patients without current ID, identified by credible witnesses
• Patients who can’t write, using signature by mark

If the patient is in a skilled nursing facility, an advance health care directive also needs a patient advocate or ombudsman as a witness (Probate Code § 4675). We’ll help coordinate timing so everyone is present.

What we need from staff

• The patient’s location, and the best time of day for alertness
• Whether the patient has acceptable ID, or who can serve as credible witnesses
• Visitor and check-in procedures
• A heads-up if staff can’t serve as witnesses under facility policy, so we can arrange witnesses

We can’t notarize if the patient can’t communicate with us, appears not to understand the document, or seems pressured. We’ll say so respectfully and leave the next steps to the family and their attorney.

For healthcare businesses

Clinics, medical groups and home health agencies use us for provider and credentialing documents, affidavits, corporate documents and anything going abroad that needs an apostille. We come to your office.

Common questions

How quickly can you get to a hospital?

Often within a few hours, sometimes within the hour on the Westside. We’re available 24/7.

Can hospital staff act as witnesses?

Facility policies often prohibit it, and health care providers and their employees can’t witness an advance health care directive. We can arrange witnesses for an additional fee.
