In Texas, several estate planning documents typically require notarization, including: 1) Self-proving affidavits for wills (to make the will self-proving), 2) Durable powers of attorney, 3) Medical powers of attorney, 4) Living wills/advance directives, 5) Revocable living trusts, 6) Transfer on death deeds, and 7) HIPAA authorizations. While some documents like a basic will technically only require witnesses in Texas, adding notarization provides an additional layer of authenticity and protection. Our mobile notaries in the HEB area are experienced with all these estate planning documents.

In the Hurst, Euless, and Bedford area, our estate document notarization service costs $10 per signature. Since estate documents often require multiple signatures (principal, witnesses, etc.), the total cost will depend on the number of signatures needed. For our mobile service where we come to your location, there are no additional travel fees within the HEB area. We also offer after-hours service (evenings and weekends) for an additional $25 fee. Payment can be made via credit card, debit card, or mobile payment apps.

A self-proving affidavit in Texas is a sworn statement attached to a will that confirms the will was properly executed. This affidavit must be signed by the testator (the person making the will) and the witnesses in the presence of a notary public. The benefit of a self-proving will is that when the will goes to probate, the witnesses don’t need to appear in court to testify about the will’s authenticity. This saves time and simplifies the probate process for your beneficiaries. Our mobile notaries in the HEB area are experienced with self-proving affidavits and can ensure yours is properly executed.

Yes, our HEB mobile notaries can notarize living trusts and related documents. While Texas law doesn’t require a living trust to be notarized to be valid, notarization is strongly recommended as it helps prove authenticity and can prevent challenges to the trust later. Notarization is particularly important for the trust’s funding documents (deeds, assignments, etc.) that transfer assets into the trust. Our notaries come to your location in Hurst, Euless, or Bedford to provide convenient, professional notarization services for all your trust documents.

The witness and notarization process for estate documents in Texas typically follows these steps: 1) All signers must be present together (principal/testator and witnesses), 2) Everyone must provide valid government ID, 3) The principal signs first, usually in the presence of witnesses, 4) Witnesses then sign the document, 5) For documents requiring a notarial act (like a self-proving affidavit), the notary verifies everyone’s identity, 6) The notary administers any required oaths or affirmations, 7) The notary completes the notarial certificate and applies their seal. Our mobile notaries will guide you through this entire process to ensure all documents are properly executed according to Texas law.
