Executing your estate plan shouldn't require an appointment

Most people put off finalizing their estate plan. Not because they don't want one — but because getting it done requires coordinating an attorney, a notary, witnesses, and a time when everyone can be in the same room. Life gets in the way. The appointment gets pushed. The documents sit unsigned.

Remote online notarization removes that friction entirely. Your will, your trust, your power of attorney — executed from home, on a schedule that works for you, without a single in-person coordination.

The documents that matter most are the ones that get delayed longest

Estate planning attorneys hear it constantly: clients who started the process months ago, completed their drafts, then stalled at execution. The legal work is done. The notarization is the last step. But finding a time that works for the client, their attorney, a notary, and two witnesses — in the same physical location — turns a final step into a weeks-long logistical problem.

For clients who travel frequently, live in a different city from their attorney, or simply have schedules that don't accommodate midday appointments, remote online notarization closes that gap. The session happens via secure video call. Identity is verified digitally. The document is executed, sealed, and legally valid — from wherever you happen to be.

What you can execute remotely

Remote online notarization through EDN covers the full range of estate planning documents:

• Last will and testament — executed with full legal validity under Washington State RON law, recognized across jurisdictions
• Living trusts and trust amendments — including revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, and trust restatements
• Durable power of attorney — financial and property decisions, effective immediately or upon incapacity
• Healthcare power of attorney — designating a healthcare proxy for medical decisions
• Advance healthcare directives — living wills, DNR documentation, and end-of-life instructions

If your attorney has prepared the documents, EDN handles the notarization. You don't need to find a separate notary, arrange witnesses, or clear a block of time in the middle of your workday.

For clients managing estates across state lines

Estate matters rarely stay contained to one jurisdiction. A client in Florida may have a trust that covers property in three states. An executor living in California may need to act on behalf of an estate administered in Washington. A family member abroad may need to execute a document that affects assets back home.

EDN's Washington State commission and nationwide RON reach means you're working with a single, trusted provider regardless of where the documents need to be valid. You're not searching for a new notary every time a new state is involved.

For estate planning attorneys

If you're an estate planning attorney whose clients regularly stall at the execution stage, remote online notarization changes the dynamic. Once documents are ready, you send your client a link, schedule a session, and the notarization is handled. The bottleneck disappears.

EDN works directly with attorneys and their clients to coordinate execution sessions that fit the client's schedule. Every session is conducted personally by Gieselia Baker — a commissioned notary with over 20 years of experience in estate, real estate, and international document execution.

Your clients get a professional, unhurried session. You get a completed file. The estate plan that sat in draft for three months gets done this week.

Your timeline, not the calendar's

Estate planning is one of the most important things you can do for your family. It shouldn't be held hostage to scheduling logistics. Remote online notarization with EDN means you execute your documents when you're ready — not when an appointment is available.
