Planning ahead for critical healthcare decisions? Our mobile living wills notary public service ensures your end-of-life wishes are legally documented and respected across the Central Coast. At SLO Notary, we bring professional, secure, and compassionate notarization of living wills directly to your location—saving you trips and stress.
What Is a Living Will and Why It Matters
A living will is a legal document that communicates your healthcare preferences—such as life-sustaining treatment or resuscitation—if you become unable to speak for yourself. In California, an advance health care directive (which includes a living will) must be signed in front of two witnesses or notarized to be legally valid (nolo.com). While notarization isn’t required, having your living will notarized adds legal strength and reduces the risk of disputes (vistaslawgroup.com).
As your trusted living wills notary public, we ensure your document is executed correctly—protecting your wishes and giving peace of mind to your loved ones.
Benefits of Notarizing Your Living Will
Notarization provides:
- Impartial witness–verifying your identity and mental capacity
- Legal credibility, reducing potential challenges from family or providers
- Convenience, especially during medical or caregiving appointments
A notarized living will is recognized by hospitals, doctors, and care facilities as properly signed and verifiable—ensuring your intent is honored.
What Documents Require Notarization
Typically, living wills are part of broader advance care preparations. These documents often require notarization or witnessing:
- Advance Health Care Directives (including living wills)
- Durable Medical Powers of Attorney
- HIPAA Authorizations
- Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Orders
We can also handle health-care notary work and legally support related paperwork with our full-service mobile offering.
The Notarization Process—What You Can Expect
Our goal is to make the process seamless and respectful:
- Document Preparation: Fill out your living will but leave signature lines blank.
- ID Verification: Present government-issued photo ID.
- Sign in Person: You sign in front of us—no pre-signing allowed.
- Apply Seal: We complete the certificate and affix our notary seal.
- Review and Guide: We explain storage, registration, and distribution tips.
Required for Appointment
| What to Bring | Why It’s Required |
|---|---|
| Valid Photo ID | Confirms your identity for the notary |
| Unsigned Living Will | You sign only when the notary is present |
| Witnesses (Optional) | Not required if notarized, but you may still have two witnesses |
If you’d prefer witness-based execution, our service can accommodate that with ease.
