Affidavits An affidavit is a sworn statement in writing made especially under oath or on affirmation before an authorized magistrate or officer

that the information you. Deeds A deed is a legal document that transfers a title to a new holder of a property. The use of a deed to transfer title

must be filed in the public record by an entity such as an assessor’s office in order to make the document binding in the court of law. The deed is

the vehicle for transferring a title but is not the title itself. The signing of a deed must be notarized and may require witnesses depending on state

laws. Florida does require two (2) witnesses which cannot be related to the signer nor hold any interest in the transaction. The Notary Public can

act as a witness as long as

he/she has no interest in the transaction. There are several kinds of deed. Here is a list of the most common ones:

Warranty Deed. A Warranty Deed is a document that provides the greatest amount of protection to the purchaser of property as it pledges or warrants that the owner owns the property free and clear of any outstanding liens, mortgages, or other encumbrances against it.
Quit Claim Deed. A Quit Claim Deed releases a person's interest in a property without stating the nature of the person's interest or rights, and with no warranties of that person’s interest or rights in the property.
Special Warranty Deed. A Special Warranty Deed is a deed to real estate where the seller of the property—known as the grantor—warrants

only against anything that occurred during their physical ownership. In other words, the grantor doesn't guarantee against any defects that

existed before they took possession of the property.

Deed of Trust. A trust deed, also known as a deed of trust, is a document sometimes used in real estate transactions in the U.S. It is a document that comes into play when one party has taken out a loan from another party to purchase a property. Florida does NOT use the Deed of Trust, a Mortgage instrument is recorded in its place.

Powers of Attorney A Power of Attorney, also called a POA, is a document where one person (the principal) appoints another person (the

attorney-

in-fact, also known as the agent or mandatory, depending on your state) to act on their behalf with respect to certain matters like finance, real

estate, business, and more. There are several kinds of Power of Attorney that can be used for different purposes.

Limited Power of Attorney. A limited power of attorney gives someone else the power to act in your stead for a very limited purpose. For example, a limited power of attorney could give someone the right to sign a deed to property for you on a day when you are out of town. It usually ends at a time specified in the document.
General Power of Attorney. A general power of attorney is comprehensive and gives your attorney-in-fact all the powers and rights that you have yourself. For example, a general power of attorney may give your attorney-in-fact the right to sign documents for you, pay your bills, and conduct financial transactions on your behalf. You could use a general power of attorney if you were not incapacitated, but still needed someone to help you with financial matters. A general power of attorney ends on your death or incapacitation unless you rescind it before then.
Durable Power of Attorney. A durable power of attorney can be general or limited in scope, but it remains in effect after you become incapacitated. Without a durable power of attorney, if you become incapacitated, no one can represent you unless a court appoints a conservator or guardian. A durable power of attorney will remain in effect until your death unless you rescind it while you are not incapacitated.
All three (3) documents require two (2) witnesses. Witnesses cannot be member of the signer's immediate family nor be a party to the transaction. The Notary Public can perform as a witness as long as she/he has no interest in the transaction. Wills and Testaments A will, also called a Last Will and Testament can help you protect your family and your property. In Florida, if you die without a will, your property will be distributed according to state "intestacy" laws. Florida's intestacy law gives your property to your closest relatives, beginning with your spouse and children. In Florida a will does not need to be notarized to be valid. But choosing to have your will notarized and witnessed by two (2) disinterested parties will make your will self-proving which in turn speeds up the probate process. Codicils A codicil is a legal documents used to amend or revoke an existing will. This document, like the will & testament document, requires two (2) disinterested witnesses which signatures will also need to be notarized. Trusts A Trust is an entity which owns assets for the benefit of a third person (beneficiary). There are many kinds of legal trust such as irrevocable trust, revocable trust and living trust. In Florida some trust documents will require two (2) witnesses.

(print this form here) Bank Deposit Box Certification Although these certifications are mostly done by bank employees who hold a notary commission, this is a duty that I would gladly perform when asked. When a safety deposit box is opened, it is the notary's responsibility to witness the opening and to sign the certificate listing the entire contents of the box. Assistance in hospitals, hospices, and assisted living facilities The need of a mobile notary cannot be more necessary than in the following circumstances. Assisting clients in their most vulnerable moments is primordial. In all cases, if competency of a Client is in doubt, the need to seek help from an attorney may be necessary. If the client doesn't hold a valid government issued ID, or if the client, although competent, isn't able to sign her/his name, there are options for these situations, and as your notary, I make sure that all available options are investigated so important decisions are made and documents can be executed properly under my Florida commission.
