Executors rarely live next door to the brokerage, so signing on video is common.

Cranford, NJ. Fee confirmed before your session. Card charged only after it is complete. We aim to confirm within 15 minutes, 7am to 9pm. ## Who signs, and which notarial act Usually the executor or administrator, signing in that capacity. If there are co-executors and the form asks for both, each joins from their own device. A jurat: the executor swears to the statements, and the notary gives the oath on the video call. ## Ask the recipient first Only the person or office receiving the affidavit of domicile can say whether an electronic notarization works for them. Ask: - The transfer agent or brokerage: do you have your own affidavit of domicile form, and do you accept one notarized electronically? - Do you also need a Medallion signature guarantee on the stock power? That is a bank's guarantee, not a notarization. - Do you want letters testamentary or a certified death certificate with it, and how recent? - Do you need the original on paper? **A notary seal is not a Medallion guarantee.** Transfer agents often want two different things: a notarized affidavit of domicile, and a Medallion signature guarantee on the transfer form, which only a participating bank or broker can give. We can do the first; ask your bank about the second. ## Doing it online, step by step - **Get the agent's form.** Use the transfer agent's or brokerage's own form if it has one, completed except for the signature. - **Gather the executor papers.** Letters testamentary or of administration, and the death certificate the agent asks for. - **Book the session.** One signer, or one per co-executor who must sign. - **Swear and sign on video.** Show ID, take the oath, sign; the notary completes the jurat. - **Send the packet.** Return the affidavit with the stock power and anything else on the agent's list. ## Mistakes that stop the session **Confusing it with the Medallion guarantee.** A notary can't give one; the transfer can stall if only the notarized affidavit is sent. **The wrong capacity.** Sign as executor or administrator, as the form shows, not in your personal name only. **Old letters testamentary.** Some agents want letters issued within a recent window; ask. **Domicile questions.** If the person split time between states, where they were domiciled is a legal question for the estate's attorney. ## What it costs $50 for the session, plus $10 for each extra signer. Any other fee shows in the booking form before you confirm. If a witness is needed, a video witness can be added in the booking form at $40 each. Open 7 am to 9 pm ET, every day, by appointment. Have a current photo ID, a device with a camera, and the unsigned PDF.
