Book Scottsdale Signing

They Come to You

Option 2, Mobile Notary Comes to You

A mobile notary comes to your home, so you can sign on your own schedule in the comfort of home. You pay the notary directly for the visit.

Confirm your notary brings witnesses or can guide you on providing your own.

Ask Your Advisor

Option 3, Sign at Your Financial Advisor's Office

Many financial advisory offices have a notary on staff and are happy to host a signing for their clients, often at no cost. If you work with a financial advisor, ask whether their office can notarize and witness your documents. We are glad to coordinate with them directly.

Confirm the office can provide two witnesses in addition to the notary.

Walk-In

Option 4, Bank or UPS Store

Many local banks and UPS Store locations offer notary services at low or no cost. Call ahead to confirm availability, and confirm they can provide two witnesses, since many locations only offer the notary.

Why witnesses matter: In Arizona your will must be signed in front of two witnesses, and your financial power of attorney needs a witness as well as a notary. A notary alone is not enough. Witnesses should be adults who are not family members and are not named in your documents. Whichever option you choose, we send written and video instructions before your signing day so every requirement is met.

Important

Your base plan fee does not include notarization or witness services unless you select our Scottsdale signing add-on. Luke will provide complete signing instructions with your binder.
