Why You Need a Will in Florida

​

If you don’t have a will in Florida, the state will decide how your assets are distributed after your passing. This process can be time-consuming and add emotional stress to your loved ones during an already difficult time.

Without a will, family disputes and delays may arise, making it harder for those you care about to find closure.

By creating a will, you take control of how your assets are distributed, making things much easier for your family and allowing them to focus on grieving and healing instead of legal matters.

What is an Advanced Directive and Why is it Important?

​

An Advanced Directive is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding medical care if you are no longer able to make decisions for yourself.

This document helps guide your loved ones and healthcare providers by clearly stating your preferences for treatment, ensuring that your wishes are respected even when you can’t communicate them.

A common example of an advanced directive is a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order, which specifies that you do not want to receive CPR or other life-saving measures in certain situations.

​

Why Have an Advanced Directive?

​

Having an advanced directive gives you control over your medical care and provides peace of mind for you and your family during difficult times.

If you need assistance notarizing your advanced directive or other important documents, I’m here to help with convenient mobile notary services.

🖋️ Notarizing Individual & Family Documents

​

Life is full of important moments—and many of them require official documentation. Whether you're planning for the future, protecting your family, or handling day-to-day legal matters, having your documents notarized ensures they are legally recognized and properly executed.

As a mobile notary, I make the process easy by coming to you—at home, work, or a neutral location—anywhere in Pinellas, Pasco, or Hillsborough County.

​

✅ Common Individual & Family Documents I Notarize:

​

• Wills & Living Wills

• Power of Attorney (POA)

• Advance Healthcare Directives

• School Forms (e.g., travel consent, enrollment)

• Name Change or Parental Consent Forms

• Divorce or Custody Agreements

• Financial & Legal Agreements

• Guardianship or Adoption Documents

What is a Power of Attorney (POA) and Why Do You Need One?

​

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to designate someone—called an “agent”—to act on your behalf in important matters.

There are four main types of POAs:

• Durable POA

• Special or Limited POA

• Healthcare POA

• Real Estate POA

​​

Why is Having a POA Important?

​

If you become incapacitated or unable to make decisions for yourself, your designated agent can step in to:

• Manage your financial affairs, like paying bills and handling money matters

• Make healthcare decisions and discuss your medical condition with providers

Having a POA ensures that your financial and health-related decisions are made by someone you trust—protecting your interests when you can’t speak for yourself.

​

What Happens Without a POA?

​

Without a POA, your loved ones may be unable to manage your assets or access important information about your health. This can lead to delays, confusion, and added stress during critical times.

What is VIN Verification and Why Is It Important?

​

When you’re getting a title for your vehicle in Florida, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be verified to ensure the vehicle’s identity is accurate.

As a licensed notary, I can perform VIN verification by:

• Confirming the VIN number matches the vehicle’s records

• Validating the odometer reading is accurate and current

This service helps prevent fraud and ensures your vehicle paperwork is correct and legally compliant.

Did You Know?

​

A notary public in Florida is authorized to assist with the inventory of a safe-deposit box.

When a renter of a safe-deposit box has died or abandoned the box, Florida law allows a notary (typically in the presence of a bank officer) to open the box, inventory its contents, and provide a certified record of what’s inside.

This notarized inventory can be essential for:

• Estate proceedings

• Legal documentation

• Transferring ownership of contents

📋 I provide professional and discreet mobile notary services for safe-deposit box inventory needs throughout Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough counties.
