1. Start the POA draft
Use the focused intake to choose the likely document path and begin the drafting flow.
Online notary is the second step, not the first decision
For this focused launch, we want families to start with the POA path first instead of a general notary marketplace. Once the document is underway, we can help you see whether remote notarization belongs in the execution step.
Start the POA planWhen online notarization may fit
- Your state or document execution rules call for notarization.
- The signer can complete ID verification and a remote video session.
- You want the draft ready before you choose the notary step.
This page is not a promise of universal notary availability. Availability can vary by document type, signer circumstances, and state rules, so we keep the notary step behind the POA workflow.
How it fits into the narrowed funnel
2. Review signing requirements
Keep state execution requirements visible before deciding what kind of signing or notarization help you need.
3. Add remote notarization if needed
Treat online notary as the execution step after the draft is ready, not as a separate shopping journey.
What to have ready
- A drafted or nearly final power of attorney document
- The state signing notes you already reviewed in the POA flow
- A valid government-issued ID for the signer
- A device with camera, microphone, and a reliable connection
When not to rely on a self-serve path alone
Stop and get legal advice if capacity is uncertain, family conflict is likely, or you are coordinating broader estate-planning decisions alongside the POA.
