How we handle this document. We sign wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care proxies and do not resuscitate consents on paper, in person, rather than by remote online notarization. New York State Technology Law § 307 lists these among the documents excluded from electronic signature, and remote online notarization relies on the signer signing electronically, so we take the cautious route. We travel to your home, office or hospital anywhere in the five boroughs and coordinate witnesses. Documents without that restriction, such as affidavits, contracts, travel consents and vehicle release letters, can still be notarized online. This is our practice, not legal advice. If your situation is unusual, confirm with your attorney.
