Trust & Estate Document Notarization

Living trusts establish how assets held in a trust are managed and distributed. Certifications of trust summarize key information about a trust and the trustee’s authority without presenting the full trust document.

Financial powers of attorney authorize someone to handle designated financial or property matters. Durable powers of attorney contain wording allowing that authority to remain effective during incapacity. Advance Health Care Directives record healthcare wishes and may appoint a healthcare decision-maker.

Trust amendments change particular provisions of an existing trust, while restatements update its terms more comprehensively. Trust-related deeds document transfers of real property into or out of a trust. Affidavits of Death of Trustee document a trustee’s death in connection with updating property records.

Wills state how a person wishes their estate to be distributed after death. Pour-over wills direct property passing under the will into an existing trust.
