Specialty Notary Work

Retaining a Notary who has experience in different areas. although it may not be necessary , there are advantages in hiring a professional who has  experience in different types of transactions.  Most notaries will display their qualifications on their website or social media profiles, so look for specializations that indicate knowledge base. For example if you need someone with a legal background, seek a notary that focuses in law; when you need a notary with an in-depth understanding of real estate transactions, hire a Loan Signing Agent who has experience with mortgage loan signings ask about their experience & or hire a multifaceted notary who is experienced in all areas! 
What are the examples of Specialty Notary Work?

1. Split Signings:  is a type of notary appointment that requires one notary to meet with a set of signers and another notary to meet with the other signers because not all signers cant attend at the same time.  These are popular specifically in Mortgage Loan Signings for Real Estate Transactions . An Example would be for out of state properties where one signer is in one state & the other in a different state.
2. Hybrid Signings:  is a type of signing where some of the loan package is signed or notarized in ink (wet signatures)  in person, and the rest is e-signed digitally. The bank or lender will dictate which documents should be paper signed or ink signed vs e-signed. 
3.  Estate Planning is the type of signing which includes a Power of Attorney, Will and a Trust sometimes other legal documents pertaining to real estate property & healthcare directive this is in the industry of the Law , Paralegals or Estate Planning Attorneys. 
4. Mail-Away Signings:  a common reason for needing a mail-away closing is when the seller had to quickly relocate for a new job and could not fly back to the property’s area to sign the documents. Typically all parties to a real estate transaction would be physically present at the closing table with a mail-away closings the documents are sent to the signers via email or by overnight delivery in advance to the out-of-town signer . Once the mail-away closer receives all documents he or  she must sign the forms in front of a notary. Once everything has been signed, initialed, and otherwise handled, then the out-of-town closer is responsible for mailing all the documents back to the sender.  If you are conducting a mail-away closing, you can choose to send the documents back overnight. This also applies to any legal transaction such as an Estate Planning package. Some signers hire Estate Planning firms to prepare their legal documents,  outside of the area in which they live in once the documents are ready, the firm either mails the original documents to the signers or directly to the notary to coordinate the signing. 
5. General Notary Work:  This type of Notary Service can be anything that needs to be notarized from 1 single document pertaining to Vital Records, Deeds, Retirement Paperwork, Fictitious Business Name for business, Death of Joint Tenant, Structure Settlements and so much more! 
6. Auto Loan Signings: Specifically an  Auto Equity Loan allows a person  to borrow money based on the current value of a  vehicle owned.  Notaries are hired to conduct the closing on those transactions and take pictures of the vehicle including the VIN number. once the notary sends all the info to the lender, they transfer the funds to the borrower by wire/electronic transfer or by cash through western union & or sometimes when the notary gets the documents sent to her,  a cashiers check is included in the loan documents package to give to the signer once the documents are completed. . 

Fees:
A mobile notary that travels onsite to execute documents is allowed to levy charges separate from the fees for actual services. These “convenience” fees are intended to cover the costs of transportation and can be as high as $150 in addition to the notary fee. This is why it’s important to ask about fees beforehand hiring a notary.
