✈️ Before You Travel This Summer✨…

Are Your Documents Ready?

Peace of Mind Starts with a Signature

Summer is all about sunshine, spontaneity, and well-deserved vacations. Whether you're road-tripping to see family, flying overseas, or sending the kids to camp — one thing often gets left off the packing list:

👉 Are your legal documents in order in case of an emergency?

✅ The Essentials Every Traveler Should Have

Even if you’re in great health and planning a short trip, life happens. Here are a few key documents we recommend getting notarized before you hit the road (or the skies):

  • 📝 Last Will & Testament – Ensures your wishes are legally recorded.

  • 🛡️ Durable Power of Attorney – Appoints someone to handle affairs if you can’t.

  • 💉 Medical Directive or Healthcare Proxy – Gives someone authority to make health decisions for you.

  • ✈️ Minor Travel Consent Forms – Required if children travel without both parents.

These documents aren’t just for international trips — they matter for weekend getaways too.

🖋️ Why Notarization Matters

A notarized document adds legal weight and credibility. It’s often the difference between a document being honored quickly — or delayed during a critical moment.

At Dougherty Bookkeeping & Notary, we make the process quick, convenient, and mobile. Whether you prefer to meet at your home, office, or a local coffee shop — we come to you.

Notarizing With Care: Helping Families in Nursing Homes & Assisted Living

When a loved one enters a nursing home or assisted living facility, families are often thrust into a world of urgent decisions, unfamiliar paperwork, and emotional stress. One crucial—but often overlooked—step in that process? Proper notarization.

At Dougherty Bookkeeping & Notary Services, we provide professional mobile notary services across Broward County, specializing in helping families handle essential legal documents for elder care with clarity, compassion, and convenience.

🖋️ Why Notarization is Crucial in Elder Care

Important life documents like powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and living wills all require notarization to be legally binding. Without this critical step, decisions can be delayed or challenged—at the worst possible moment.

Documents we frequently notarize include:

  • Power of Attorney (POA) – financial or medical

  • Living Wills and Advance Directives

  • HIPAA Authorizations

  • Guardianship and Elder Care Agreements

  • Estate Planning Documents

🚗 Mobile Notary: We Come to You

We know that expecting seniors to travel—especially those with mobility or cognitive challenges—is unrealistic. That’s why we offer on-site notary services at:

  • Nursing Homes

  • Assisted Living Communities

  • Rehab Facilities

  • Hospitals

  • Private Homes

We coordinate with facility staff, observe all policies, and take a patient, respectful approach with every client. You’re not just getting a stamp—you’re getting support during one of life’s most sensitive transitions.

🛡️ Experience, Empathy, and Ethics

As your notary, we don’t just check boxes. We:

  • Verify that signers fully understand what they’re signing

  • Watch for signs of duress or confusion

  • Create a calm, professional environment for families

Because at Dougherty, we believe that integrity is non-negotiable.

📍 Areas We Serve

We proudly serve all of Broward County, Florida—and for families outside the area, we’re also connected.
