This evening I received a call from the son of a veteran who is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow at 6AM at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Palo Alto, California. “Mr. Lee” wanted his durable power of attorney notarized before he went in for surgery and the window of opportunity was closing. They are from Monterey County and are unfamiliar with Palo Alto. They arrived in Palo Alto in the late afternoon and drove to a couple of notary public offices. Unfortunately, the first one went out of business and the second one did not a notary public onsite. Mr. Lee’s son, “Randall” called me frantic at just before 7PM.

He was glad to have found a traveling notary public that could bring notary services to them at the VA Hospital in Palo Alto. Then, he was wondering how he was going to find an ATM to get cash to pay for the notary services. I told him that I accept debit and credit cards. Since he had his credit card, he didn’t have to worry about driving around an unfamiliar city to find an ATM. He sighed with relief.

I arrived within a half an hour to notarize the power of attorney for Mr. Lee. Both he and Randall were at ease knowing it was notarized. Now, they could focus on the surgery and recovery.

If you find yourself in a pinch for a traveling notary, do you have a knowledgeable, professional one you can call?
