Are notarial acts included in the package price?

Yes. Each package includes the number of notarial acts listed with that service. Additional traditional notarial acts are $10 each, and additional online notarial acts are $15 each. If the appointment substantially exceeds the time, signer, or notarial act limits of the selected package, additional fees may apply or the appointment may need to be adjusted to the appropriate service level.

What happens if my documents require more than the package I booked?

If your signing requires additional notarial acts, additional time, more signers, or services beyond the selected package, we will explain any additional charges before proceeding. Depending on the scope of the signing, additional fees may apply, the service may be adjusted to the appropriate package, or a custom quote may be required.

How long does an estate planning signing take?

Appointment time depends on the package selected. Mobile appointments are available in thirty, forty five, and sixty minute service levels. Remote Estate Planning Signings include up to sixty minutes. The actual time may vary based on the number of documents, signers, witnesses, notarial acts, and how prepared everyone is when the appointment begins.

What if I have more signers than my selected package includes?

The Essential package includes one signer. The Estate Planning, Comprehensive, and Remote Estate Planning packages include up to two signers. If additional signers are involved, please contact us before the appointment so we can determine the appropriate appointment length and pricing.

Do I need to provide witnesses?

Witness requirements depend on the document. The client or preparing attorney should confirm how many witnesses are required. You may provide your own qualified witnesses, or professional witness service may be requested in advance for an additional fee, subject to availability.

Can you explain my estate planning documents?

We can facilitate the signing, identify applicable signature, witness, and notarial areas, and complete the required notarial certificates. We cannot interpret legal language, explain the legal effect of a document, recommend how a provision should be completed, or advise whether a document meets your legal needs. Questions about the content of your documents should be directed to the preparing attorney.

Should I sign my documents before the appointment?

If you are unsure, wait until the appointment before signing. The required signing procedure depends on the type of notarial act and the document. Your notary will confirm the appropriate procedure during the appointment.

Can you provide estate planning signing services at a hospital, hospice, or senior living community?

Yes. Mobile appointments may be scheduled at hospitals, hospice locations, rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes, assisted living communities, and private residences. The signer must personally participate in the notarization, communicate with the notary, willingly sign or acknowledge the document as required, and satisfy applicable identification and notarial requirements.

Can estate planning documents be notarized remotely online?

Some eligible estate planning documents may be completed through Remote Online Notarization. Eligibility depends on the document, signer identification, witness requirements, platform capabilities, and acceptance by the preparing attorney or receiving party. The Remote Estate Planning Signing package includes up to sixty minutes, up to two signers, and up to eight online notarial acts.

Where do you provide mobile estate planning signing services?

We are based in Boynton Beach and serve West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and surrounding Palm Beach County communities. Travel within ten miles of our Boynton Beach service location is included with the mobile estate planning packages. Additional travel is $1 per mile based on round trip mileage beyond the included distance.

What if my attorney wants Five Star to coordinate the entire signing?

Attorneys and law firms may use our separate Client Signing Coordination Service when they want Five Star Notary Service LLC to coordinate directly with their client. This may include client scheduling, printing attorney prepared documents, witness coordination, the mobile signing appointment, scanning requested completed pages, and return delivery when arranged. This service is separately quoted and is not included in the standard estate planning packages. Attorneys and law firms may email info@fivestarnotaryservice.com to discuss an assignment.

My attorney already prepared my documents. Which service should I use?

If your attorney has already prepared your documents and you are contacting Five Star directly for the signing and notarization, choose one of the standard Estate Planning Signing Packages based on your appointment time, number of signers, and number of notarial acts. The separate Client Signing Coordination Service is intended for attorneys and law firms that hire Five Star directly to manage additional signing logistics for their client.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Before your appointment:

Make sure your documents are complete and ready for signing
Address legal questions with the preparing attorney beforehand
Have valid government issued photo identification available
Confirm the number of signers and any required witnesses
Make sure all required participants are available at the scheduled time
If you are unsure whether to sign beforehand, wait for instructions from the notary
For Remote Online Notarization, have a reliable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone

For faster scheduling, please know the number of signers, approximate number of notarial acts, whether witnesses are required, and whether you prefer mobile or Remote Online Notarization before booking.
