Online remote notarization can streamline the process of signing Trust and Estate documents both domestically and internationally for several reasons:
- Convenience: With online remote notarization, signers can sign their documents from the comfort of their own homes or offices, saving them time and effort. This is particularly beneficial for those who live far from a notary public, or for those who have mobility or transportation issues.
- Time-Saving: Online remote notarization eliminates the need for physical travel to a notary public, and the associated waiting times that can often come with in-person notarization appointments. As a result, documents can be signed and notarized more quickly, which can be particularly important for time-sensitive documents such as Trusts.
- Accessibility: Online remote notarization can also help individuals who may have difficulty accessing traditional notarization services, such as those who live in rural areas, or individuals with disabilities.
- Enhanced Security: Online remote notarization uses advanced technology to verify the signer’s identity, including video and audio recordings of the signing process. This can provide an extra layer of security to ensure that the signer is who they say they are and that the documents are being signed under proper legal procedures.
- International Recognition: Online remote notarization can also help with the notarization of documents for US clients who may be residing temporarily or permanently overseas. This solves the previous need to go to the nearest US Embassy where the wait times can be as long as 3 weeks. This is particularly important for legal documents such as Trusts, which often require notarization to be recognized in other countries and are time sensitive.
Overall, online remote notarization can make the process of signing Trust and state documents both domestically and internationally faster, more convenient, and more accessible while maintaining the necessary level of security and legal compliance.
