What to Expect During Your Estate Planning Signing

Estate planning signings often include multiple documents—each with specific signing, notarization, and witnessing requirements. During your appointment, Shanea will:

• Verify the identity of each signer

• Ensure documents are signed in the correct locations

• Properly notarize applicable documents

• Confirm that witnessing requirements are met

• Maintain a professional, neutral role throughout the signing

Shanea O’Connor Services is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. All documents must be prepared in advance of a signing.

Notarization Fees

• $15 per signature/document requiring notarization

This fee applies to each document that must be notarized, as required by California law. Documents that require a witness are not included in this $15 fee

Witness Requirements for Estate Planning Documents

Many estate planning documents—such as wills and advance directives—require two witnesses in addition to notarization.
