Health Directives

A health care directive, sometimes referred to as an advance directive, is an important document that allows an individual to express their wishes regarding future medical care and, depending on the document, designate someone to make health care decisions on their behalf if they are unable to do so.

The requirements for executing these documents can vary depending on the type of directive and the state in which it will be used. Some documents may require notarization, witnesses, or another specific method of execution. Clients should review the instructions included with their documents or consult the appropriate healthcare or legal professional before the signing appointment.

At Raritan Valley Notary Services, we provide professional, confidential, and compassionate notarization of health care directives and related documents when an appropriate notarial act is required. We carefully verify the signer's identity and complete the requested notarization while treating these sensitive documents with the attention and respect they deserve.

Our mobile notary service can be especially helpful for these appointments. We can meet clients at their home, attorney's office, hospital, rehabilitation center, assisted-living community, nursing facility, or another appropriate location, subject to facility policies and access.

We do not prepare health care directives or provide legal or medical advice regarding their contents. Our role is to provide the professional notarial service necessary to properly complete the requested notarial act.

Your wishes matter. Your documents deserve to be handled with care.
