What’s the Difference Between General Notary Work and Specialty Notary Work in Estate Planning & Trust Appointments?
General notary work involves basic notarizations of documents where the notary verifies a signer’s identity, witnesses the signature, and applies their seal.
While these services are straightforward, they typically involve simpler documents and processes.
Specialty notary work, like estate planning and trust appointments, goes beyond standard notarizations. These appointments require a higher level of knowledge, attention to detail, and understanding of complex legal documents. Key distinctions include:
-
Complexity of Documents: Involves notarizing wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advanced healthcare directives, which have stricter requirements.
-
Witness Requirements: Some documents require multiple witnesses, and notaries must ensure compliance with state-specific laws.
-
Professionalism and Sensitivity: Estate planning often involves emotional or sensitive situations. Notaries must demonstrate professionalism, patience, and empathy during appointments.
-
Higher Earning Potential: Due to the expertise required, estate planning notarizations typically command higher fees than general notary work.

Attorneys rely on notaries to ensure critical legal documents, such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, are executed flawlessly, as even minor errors can lead to legal challenges or delays.
