What Is an Estate Plan Notarization Party?
An estate plan notarization party is a convenient and efficient way for families or small groups to complete the notarization of prepared estate planning documents during one coordinated appointment. Each participant signs their own documents, and White Rose Notary Services completes the required notarizations on site. When appropriate, eligible participants may also serve as witnesses for one another, depending on the requirements of the documents and their eligibility to serve as witnesses.
Documents may be prepared by an attorney, obtained through an online estate planning service, or obtained from another source selected by the signer. Documents should be complete and ready for execution before the appointment. White Rose Notary Services focuses on the notarization and signing process and does not provide legal advice, select documents, or determine the legal requirements of an estate plan.

How Our Estate Plan Notarization Process Works
1. Schedule your appointment
Choose your preferred date, time, and location for an individual appointment or coordinated notarization party.
2. Prepare your documents
Have your prepared estate planning documents ready for signing. Documents may be attorney-prepared, obtained through an online estate planning service, or from another source selected by you. Do not sign documents in advance when the signature must be witnessed or completed in the notary’s presence.
3. Complete the signing and notarization
Each signer completes their documents as required. White Rose Notary Services verifies identity, completes the required notarizations, and helps coordinate the signing process. When witnesses are required, eligible participants may serve as witnesses when appropriate.
4. Your notarization is complete
Once the required signatures, witnessing, and notarizations are completed, your documents are returned to you.
***Your estate planning documents remain private. Witnesses are present only as required for the signing and do not need to know the details of your estate plan.
Pricing
Estate planning notarization pricing varies based on the appointment location, number of signers, number of notarizations, and other services requested. Maryland notarial fees are charged in accordance with applicable state fee requirements. Travel and other service fees are provided as part of your customized estimate.
