- Serving Citrus & Marion County
- Same-day appointments
When a power of attorney or an advance directive has to be signed today, I come to the hospital room, the rehab unit, the memory care wing or the hospice bedside, evenings, weekends and holidays included. These are the appointments most notaries decline. They are the reason this business exists.
Any facility that will admit a visitor, at any hour that visitor hours allow, and I will work with the staff on the rest.
Bedside signings at hospitals throughout Citrus and Marion County, coordinated with nursing staff and case managers.
Short-term rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities, where paperwork often surfaces mid-stay.
Assisted living communities and memory care units, with the unhurried pace those visits need.
Hospice facilities and home hospice, handled quietly and respectfully, on the family’s timeline.
Home health and in-home care situations where travel is simply not realistic.
Healthcare surrogates, living wills, DNR paperwork and durable powers of attorney, often on very little notice.
This is the part families are rarely told in advance, and it is better to hear it on the phone than to find out with a notary standing in the room. The signer has to be awake, aware, and able to communicate. They must understand in general terms what the document is and that they are signing it, and they must be signing because they want to, not because the room wants them to.
I will speak with the signer directly, which is not a formality. If a patient is heavily sedated, non-responsive, or cannot indicate understanding, I cannot notarize, and I will tell you kindly and immediately rather than proceeding with something that will not survive a challenge later.
A signer who cannot hold a pen is usually still fine. Florida allows a signature by mark and, in defined circumstances, signing at the direction of a disabled person, both with extra witness requirements. Describe the situation when you call and I will arrive with the right plan and, where possible, help you line up witnesses.
Facility staff cannot always serve as witnesses. Mention it early and I will help you solve it before I arrive, not after.
Three steps, no office visit, no waiting room.
One notary, one phone number, whatever the document turns out to be.
Affidavits, powers of attorney, bills of sale, consent forms and the rest of the everyday paperwork that needs a seal.
Purchases, refinances, HELOCs and reverse mortgages, returned to your title company on time.
Documents headed overseas, notarized correctly the first time so the state does not reject them.
Florida notaries can solemnize marriage. Small, warm ceremonies wherever you want to hold them.
Not sure which service you need? Start here and I will point you to the right one.

If yours is not here, call and ask. There is no charge for a question.
Usually. Evenings, weekends and holidays are normal for this service, and the phone is answered around the clock. Call (352) 201-2682 and you will know within a minute or two whether I can be there.
Then the notarization cannot go forward. The signer must be aware of what they are signing and must be signing willingly. I will assess respectfully and tell you honestly. A notarization taken from someone who could not understand it is worse than no notarization at all, because it can be challenged later.
Often yes. Florida provides for a signature by mark, and in certain circumstances for someone to sign at the disabled person’s direction, each with additional witness requirements. Explain the situation when you call so I come prepared.
Generally no, beyond normal visiting policy, though some units prefer a heads-up to the charge nurse. Give me the facility, unit and room number and I will handle the coordination.
Sometimes, but many facilities will not allow it, and some documents exclude interested parties. Sort this out before the appointment: mention it on the phone and I will help you plan around it.
No. A notary public is not an attorney and may not give legal advice. I can confirm the notarial certificate is correct and complete, but which document you need is a question for an attorney.
Tell me what you need notarized and I’ll call you back to lock in a time. Same-day, evening and weekend appointments are available, and I come to you.
Call me directly, day or night. I answer.
