Frequently asked questions
Can a will be notarized remotely?
Yes. A will can be notarized through remote online notarization (RON) in Washington State. The session is recorded, identity is verified, and the final document includes a tamper-evident digital seal — meeting or exceeding the legal requirements for notarized wills in all US states.
Can a power of attorney be signed and notarized remotely?
Yes. Durable and general powers of attorney are among the most common estate documents we notarize remotely. The completed, notarized POA is legally valid across the US and can be apostilled for international use.
Can trusts — revocable and irrevocable — be notarized online?
Yes. Both revocable living trusts and irrevocable trusts can be notarized via RON. We work with estate planning attorneys whose clients are abroad, homebound, or otherwise unable to appear for an in-person signing.
What about healthcare directives and advance directives?
Healthcare directives, living wills, and POLST/MOLST documents requiring notarization can all be handled remotely. We coordinate with the signer and their attorney to ensure the session meets all state-specific execution requirements.
Can a family member in another country sign estate documents remotely?
Yes. The signer can be anywhere in the world. They need a valid government-issued ID (US passport or driver's license), the documents ready to review, and a device with a camera and microphone. We walk them through the process.
Do you work directly with estate planning attorneys?
Yes. We partner with estate planning attorneys to notarize their clients' documents remotely. Attorneys can refer clients directly, coordinate multi-party signings, and rely on us to handle all identity verification and session logistics.
Is remote notarization of estate documents recognized internationally?
Washington State RON notarizations are legally valid in all US states. For international use — such as a power of attorney presented to a foreign government — we can facilitate the apostille process to obtain recognition in any of the 120+ Hague Convention countries.
What happens if there are multiple signers on an estate document?
Multi-party signings can be accommodated. Each signer goes through identity verification individually during the session. We coordinate scheduling and handle all logistics to ensure all parties complete the session correctly.
How long does a remote estate document signing session take?
A typical estate document session takes 20–45 minutes depending on the number of documents and signers. Concierge sessions are available same-day or next-day. We recommend scheduling in advance for complex multi-document or multi-signer sessions.
