Authenticity Notary Services

Kids turn 18 every day but spring time becomes a busy time to prepare for highschool graduation and heading off to college. Did you know that once your child turns 18, you no longer have the automatic right to access their medical records, make healthcare decisions, or manage their finances, even in an emergency? If your child were to be in an accident and left unable to communicate, you could find yourself unable to step in without first going through a lengthy and expensive court process.

Check out this article on what this could mean for you. I am not an attorney, so I can't give you legal advice but feel free to contact me and I can help point you in the right direction.

Don't forget to call me to notarize your documents! ❤️

Estate Planning Tools to Protect Your Adult Children After They Turn 18 Learn How Estate Planning Tools Can Protect Adult Children and help you stay involved in crucial financial and healthcare decisions.

Tis the season to send your young adults off to college. Did you know that if you child is over 18 and there is a medical emergency that you can do nothing to help them, legally? I am not an attorney so I cannot give legal advice, but I highly recommend educating yourself on why your college student might need a durable power of attorney for health and financial. Some DPOA paperwork can be different for each state so again, educate yourself.

If your child wants to sign a DPOA giving you the ability to help with medical or financial decisions and you would prefer a mobile notary to come to you, call me.

*there are plenty of free forms out there, or contact an attorney to assist you. Google search free DPOA for _______ state.

There are also plenty of articles out there explaining why this is a good idea. College kids can be hesitant. They feel super independent and don't want mom and dad meddling, so before you tell your child that you think they should do this (because what 18 yr old wants to listen to their parents!) find an article that explains it so they understand why it's so important.

I am happy to give recs for attorneys so please reach out if you would like.

Got a kid headed to college? Don't forget the power of attorney. Here's why you need it. When your kids turn 18 years old, make sure they sign a power of attorney. Here's why you need one, especially if your kid's heading to college.

PSA: The number one complaint/comment I get when being called to do a notarization is "They don't have an ID." "How many seniors actually have ID anymore? They don't drive." "Oh it's fine, I can vouch for them."

The answer is easy! Every single person must have an ID to get a document notarized. There are a few ways around that but WA does not make it easy. It's sometimes, impossible to do it any other way.

If you have someone in your life that didn't renew their ID or thinks they just won't ever need it again, please do them a favor and help them get a current ID and keep it renewed.

Happy National Notary Day!

It's a beautiful day in the PNW. I didn't have a great night's sleep and started off with a negative attitude. I am now sitting in my happy place, enjoying my blooms, listening to birds, soaking up the sun. Telling myself it'll be a good day and to get out there and own it

Had a little adventure this weekend. It's actually only 30 minutes away (with no traffic) but got called to notarize some docs in Issaquah, WA. Took advantage of the opportunity and got some and went to and we didn't even know it was if you're ever visiting the Seattle area, make the trip across i-90. It won't disappoint!! # # #
