Preparing Documents: Please fill in all blank lines on any statement, form, letter, affidavit, Power of Attorney, Advance Health Care Directive or other document that requires signature notarization, – but do not sign or date it. I will complete the notary section (and provide it, if necessary) at the time of notarization. By law, a Notary Public is unable to draft, change, or provide legal advice concerning your document, so if you have any questions please speak with the attorney, company or agency that drafted your document.
