Make sure that the nurses know not to drug the signer within eight (8) hours of the signing. Make sure the signer’s family members are watching the signer at all times to make sure the nurses don’t give them any valium, otherwise the singing cannot be completed.
——AN HOUR BEFORE APPOINTMENT——
- Wake the signer at least an hour before appointment.
- Ensure the signer is not under the influence of narcotic pain medication. Please speak to your care provider the day of the notarization so that during the window of the signing, the client is clear and cohesive so that the documents are legally binding under Florida law.
- Can the singer sign their name? Have a family member test them out before the appointment. If not, they can sign by Mark, but 2 “disinterested” witnesses must be present.
- Please confirm you have the document(s) and they are filled out completely prior to notary’s arrival.
