Estate planning is a stack of signatures, and most of the stack needs a notary: the self-proving affidavit on the will, the durable power of attorney, the transfer-on-death deed, the trust certification. Gatesville TX Notary comes to your home, your attorney's office, or a care facility anywhere in Coryell County so the whole package gets executed correctly in one sitting.

Built for Families and Attorneys
Attorneys draft; we execute. Estate planning lawyers across Gatesville, Killeen, and Waco send us signing appointments when clients can't come to the office — homebound parents, hospital and hospice signings, and ranch families who'd rather sign at the kitchen table. We coordinate witnesses in advance, verify ID properly, and get every certificate right the first time.
One Visit, Whole Package
A typical estate signing — will with self-proving affidavit, both POAs, a directive, and a deed — takes 30 to 45 minutes. Weekday appointments run until 8 PM and weekends 9 AM to 5 PM, so adult children who work can be present. Not sure what actually requires a notary?

Estate Planning Notary FAQ
Does a will need to be notarized in Texas?
A Texas will needs two witnesses, not a notary — but the self-proving affidavit attached to most wills does require a notary, and it saves your family a court headache later. We notarize whatever your documents call for.
Can you notarize estate documents for someone in a nursing home?
Yes — care facility visits are a core part of our estate work. The signer must be alert, aware, and willing; when capacity is in question we recommend the care team confirm competency before the appointment.
Can one appointment cover a whole estate package?
Yes. Most estate packages are signed in a single 30–45 minute visit, with witnesses coordinated in advance so nothing stalls at the table.
