A notary public is a state-appointed official authorized to serve as an impartial witness in the signing of important legal documents. They verify the identities of signers, ensure that all parties are signing willingly, and help prevent fraud.
Documents that typically require notarization include legal documents (wills, power of attorney, affidavits), real estate documents (deeds, mortgages, lease agreements), financial documents (loan agreements, trusts), business contracts, medical forms (living wills, medical consent), and international documents (travel consent forms, apostilles).
