Real estate investors who need a deed notarized fast can book a mobile notary to meet the signer at the property, at the seller's home, or at the investor's office. Signed On Time travels across Hamilton, Warren, Montgomery, Butler, Greene, and Clinton counties to notarize signatures on deeds and related documents that have already been prepared, so a deal doesn't stall waiting for a signer to find an office.
Common ones include general warranty deeds, limited warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, survivorship deeds, affidavits of facts relating to title, LLC member signature pages, and land contract documents. In Ohio, a deed must be acknowledged before a notary before it can be recorded with the county recorder. The deed itself should be prepared by an attorney or title company; I notarize the signatures and don't prepare, review, or advise on the deed's wording.
Yes. A mobile notary can meet a seller at home, in a hospital, or in a care facility. The seller needs a current government-issued photo ID, must understand what they're signing, and must sign willingly. If anyone is pressuring a seller, I won't complete the notarization.
An LLC signs through a person authorized to act for it, such as a member or manager. That person appears with their own photo ID, and the acknowledgment shows them signing on behalf of the company. Whether that person actually has authority is something your attorney or title company confirms; I verify the signer's identity, not their authority.
No. A notary can't notarize a document they're a party to or have a financial interest in. Investors who are also notaries still need an independent notary for their own transactions, which is a common reason investors keep a mobile notary on call.
Ohio allows a notary to charge up to $5 per notarial act. A mobile appointment also includes a travel fee that depends on location and timing, and the total is quoted in full before the appointment. Call (513) 226-9052 or use Book Now.
Bring your document unsigned and a valid government-issued photo ID. If witnesses are required, we will let you know when you schedule.
