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
