FAQ
Common questions
Can a notary come to a funeral home in Sussex County?
Often, yes. Tell us the funeral home and the documents, and we confirm availability and the total before booking. An online session is another option.
Which documents need a notary after someone dies?
Banks, the motor vehicle commission and title companies often ask for sworn statements such as affidavits about the estate or a vehicle title. The office asking for the document decides what it needs, so ask them first.
Can a notary come to a patient at home?
Yes, if they can understand what they are signing and show a valid ID. We can come to the home, hospital or care facility. The notary cannot sign for someone who cannot.
