Hospice & Bedside Notary in Redlands & the Inland Empire

Compassionate Mobile Notary Services When Leaving Home Isn't an Option

When a loved one is receiving hospice care, is bedridden, homebound, hospitalized, or has limited mobility, traveling to a notary office may not be possible.

Cheri's Notaries provides compassionate mobile hospice and bedside notary services in Redlands, Loma Linda, San Bernardino, and throughout the Inland Empire.

I come directly to the signer—whether they are at home, in hospice care, at a hospital, nursing facility, assisted living community, or rehabilitation center.

Documents Commonly Notarized During Bedside Appointments

Depending on the document and the notarization requested, bedside appointments may involve:

• Powers of Attorney

• Trust documents

• Deeds

• Affidavits

• Advance Health Care Directives

• Estate planning documents

• Authorization forms

• Other documents requiring notarization

Please have the documents prepared before the appointment. A California notary cannot select or prepare legal documents or provide legal advice unless separately authorized by law to do so.

What Does the Signer Need?

Even during a hospice or bedside appointment, California notary requirements still apply.

The signer must personally appear before the notary and satisfactory evidence of identity must be established as required for the notarization.

If you're unsure whether your loved one's identification will work, call me before the appointment. We can discuss what identification they currently have and whether another legally permitted identification method may be available.

What If the Signer Is Sick, Weak, or Has Limited Mobility?

Being bedridden, elderly, ill, or receiving hospice care does not automatically prevent someone from having a document notarized.

Every appointment is handled individually and with patience, dignity, and respect.

The signer still needs to be able to personally participate in the notarization and meet the requirements for the requested notarial act.

If there are concerns about your loved one's condition, communication abilities, identification, or ability to sign, please tell me before I arrive so we can discuss the situation.

What If the Signer Cannot Physically Write Their Name?

Don't automatically assume that a physical limitation means a notarization can't be completed.

California law contains specific requirements for certain signatures made by mark. Because additional requirements may apply, please tell me when scheduling if the signer cannot physically sign their usual signature.

I'll let you know what may be needed for the notarial appointment.

Family Members & Caregivers

Family members and caregivers are welcome to help coordinate the appointment.

However, the notarization is between the notary and the person whose signature is being notarized. When necessary, I may need to communicate directly with the signer without another person answering on their behalf.

This protects the signer and helps ensure the notarization is completed properly.

Before I Arrive

To help your bedside notary appointment go smoothly, please have:

• The document ready for notarization

• The signer present

• Acceptable identification available

• Any witnesses required by the document arranged in advance

• Facility access information, if applicable

• Parking or room information

• Contact information for the person coordinating the appointment

Please do not wait until the last minute if you know a document will need to be notarized. Hospice and bedside appointments sometimes require additional preparation.

Hospice, Home & Bedside Notary Pricing

I believe in being upfront about pricing.

California notarial fees are separate from any applicable mobile travel, after-hours, waiting-time, parking, or special-location service fees.

Tell me where the signer is located and what you need notarized, and I'll provide the applicable pricing before the appointment.

When your loved one can't come to a notary, I'll bring the notary to them.
