Mobile notary in Benicia

What to know about signings in Benicia

• There is no hospital in Benicia. A Benicia resident in hospital is at Kaiser Vallejo, Sutter Solano, or Kaiser Walnut Creek across the Benicia–Martinez Bridge — all reachable, and the fee is quoted for wherever the signing actually is.

• Benicia is in Solano County, so deeds record in Fairfield. A signing in Benicia and a recording in Fairfield are the same afternoon if the family wants the deed on record that day.

• Benicia was California's capital for thirteen months in 1853–54, and its older housing stock means a high share of estate-planning signings: powers of attorney, health directives and trust transfer deeds signed at home with the family present.

How an appointment works

1. 1

   You call or send a request. We go over which document you have, what identification the signer holds, who needs to be present, and whether the signer can acknowledge the signing themselves.

2. 2

   The fee is quoted for the whole visit and agreed before anyone travels. Benicia appointments are booked as one on-site visit, with the correct California form brought ready if the family does not have it.

3. 3

   At the signing, identification, the certificate wording, the witness requirement and the signature blocks are checked against the current statute before I leave, and a scan is sent the same day.
