We notarize healthcare directives and advance directive documents for individuals and families throughout Orange County, LA County, and Riverside County. If you have a living will, durable power of attorney for healthcare, or a POLST form that needs to be notarized, we come to you. Our certified notary handles every appointment with care, accuracy, and full compliance with California requirements.
A healthcare directive is a legal document that records your medical wishes in advance and designates someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so.
California law gives you two options to make these documents valid: two adult witnesses or a notary public.
Choosing notarization means a certified notary verifies your identity, witnesses your signature, and completes the official notarial certificate on the spot.
Here are five reasons clients throughout California trust us:
We hold current NNA certification and pass annual background screenings. You get a notary who meets the professional standards required for sensitive end-of-life and healthcare planning documents.
We travel to your home, hospital room, assisted living facility, or any location that works for you. No need to leave when you are managing a difficult or time-sensitive health situation.
We confirm every appointment, show up on time, and communicate proactively. If anything changes, you hear from us right away. No delays and no missed windows.
We share our full fee before the appointment, including any travel charge. You know exactly what you will pay with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
We review every document before leaving. You receive a properly notarized directive with no missing signatures, no skipped sections, and no errors that could cause a hospital or care facility to reject it.
We notarize a wide range of advance directive and healthcare planning documents.
Hospitals, care facilities, and physicians need to act quickly when a medical crisis occurs. A properly notarized healthcare directive removes any question about who has authority to make decisions and what your wishes are. Without valid notarization or proper witnessing, a directive can be rejected at exactly the wrong moment. Getting it notarized correctly now protects you and spares your family the impossible decision of having to make it under pressure.
We keep the process simple for every appointment:
We travel throughout Orange County and surrounding areas so you never have to leave home or a care facility to get your directive notarized.

California law requires your advance healthcare directive to be either notarized by a licensed notary public or signed in front of two qualified adult witnesses. Both options satisfy the legal requirement, but notarization is often the easier and more reliable choice. It creates a clear official record and eliminates the need to coordinate two separate witnesses.
A living will is a document that states your wishes for end-of-life medical treatment, such as whether you want life-sustaining measures. A healthcare directive is a broader term that typically includes both your treatment preferences and the designation of a healthcare agent who can make decisions on your behalf. In California, the official form covering both is the Advance Health Care Directive.
Yes. We travel to hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and hospice centers throughout Orange County. We understand these situations are often time-sensitive and emotionally difficult, and we handle every appointment with patience and care. Call us at (949) 208-9850 to arrange a bedside or facility visit.
Your healthcare agent can be any trusted adult you choose, such as a spouse, adult child, sibling, or close friend. California law does prohibit certain individuals from serving, including your treating physician, operators of a healthcare facility where you receive care, and anyone who is not a relative but stands to inherit from your estate. Your estate planning attorney can advise you on the right choice for your situation.
California allows two adult witnesses to substitute for a notary, but there are restrictions. Witnesses cannot be your healthcare agent, your heirs, your treating physician, or employees of your care facility. Because these restrictions can be easy to overlook, many people find it simpler and more reliable to use a notary instead.
You need a valid government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license, state-issued ID card, or passport. Every person required to sign must present their own valid ID at the appointment. We cannot complete the notarization without proper identification in hand.
Yes. We regularly notarize healthcare directives for clients who are ill, elderly, or in hospice care. The signer must be of sound mind at the time of notarization, meaning they understand what they are signing and are acting voluntarily. If you have concerns about capacity, we recommend consulting with an attorney before scheduling the appointment.
