A Notary Public is an official authorized by the government to act as an impartial witness for certain legal transactions. Their primary role is to verify the identity of the signers, witness the signing of documents, and administer oaths when needed. By doing so, notaries help prevent fraud and ensure that all parties are signing documents knowingly and willingly.

Key Functions of a Notary Public:

1. Witnessing Signatures
Notaries observe the signing of legal documents—such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, contracts, deeds, or affidavits—to confirm that each signature is genuine and made voluntarily.

2. Verifying Identity
Before any signing, a notary reviews a government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, state ID, or military ID) to ensure the person signing is who they claim to be.

3. Administering Oaths and Affirmations
For documents that require a sworn statement, such as affidavits, a notary can administer oaths or affirmations, ensuring the signer understands their responsibility to tell the truth.

4. Certifying Copies of Documents
In some cases, a notary can certify that a copy of a document is true and accurate compared to the original.

Why a Notary is Important

Notaries play a vital role in protecting both the signer and the integrity of important legal documents. Whether you’re signing estate planning documents like wills or trusts, handling property transfers, or executing other legally binding agreements, a notary ensures the process is secure, proper, and legally recognized.

A Mobile Notary is a notary public who travels to you, providing notarial services wherever you need them—home, office, hospital, or any other convenient location. This service is ideal for clients who have busy schedules, limited mobility, or health concerns, making it easier to complete important documents without leaving your location.

CNTDA stands for Certified Notary Trust Delivery Agent and is a credentialed notary that has undergone advanced training and testing to better serve the public and estate planning professionals in the skillful presentation and execution of trust documents. This certification ensures your documents are handled accurately, professionally, and with the highest level of care.

A Certified Notary Trust Delivery Agent (CNTDA) is a commissioned Notary Public who specializes in the execution and delivery of estate planning and trust documents. Unlike a traditional Notary Public—whose role is limited to verifying identity and witnessing signatures—a CNTDA is trained to manage high-value, high-sensitivity estate documents with precision, professionalism, and discretion.

When families finalize their estate plans, a CNTDA is engaged to guide clients through comprehensive trust and estate packages, ensuring documents are signed, notarized, dated, and completed correctly—often in coordination with estate planning attorneys and firms. Accuracy is non-negotiable. One missed signature can invalidate an entire plan.

A CNTDA doesn’t provide legal advice—but they protect the integrity of the attorney’s work by ensuring flawless execution.
