What We Notarize

Real Estate Documents

Real estate transactions involve a wide range of documents that require notarization. Tap any document below to see what it is, when you need it, and what to expect at the signing.

Grant Deed
Transfers property ownership from seller to buyer with a guarantee that the title is clear.
Tap for details ›
Notarization required?Yes — all deeds must be notarized before the county recorder will accept them for recording.
Thumbprint required?Yes — California law requires a thumbprint in the notary journal for real property documents.
What we do:Verify signer identity, notarize the deed, collect the required journal thumbprint, and return documents to escrow or the appropriate party.
Good to know:Includes interspousal grant deeds used to transfer property between spouses. A Preliminary Change of Ownership Report (PCOR) typically must be filed with the deed.
Quitclaim Deed
Transfers whatever interest a person holds in a property — commonly used to add or remove someone from title.
Tap for details ›
Notarization required?Yes — must be notarized and recorded with the county.
Thumbprint required?Yes — required for all real property documents.
What we do:Verify identity, notarize, collect thumbprint, and can assist with submitting for recording.
Good to know:Unlike a grant deed, a quitclaim makes no guarantees about the condition of the title. Often used for family transfers, divorce settlements, and trust funding.
Trust Transfer Deed
Moves real property into a living trust for estate planning purposes.
Tap for details ›
Notarization required?Yes — the deed transferring property into the trust must be notarized and recorded.
Thumbprint required?Yes.
What we do:Notarize the transfer deed and can also notarize the trust itself during the same appointment.
Good to know:A PCOR must be filed with the deed. Transfers to a revocable living trust by the owner are typically exempt from reassessment under Proposition 19 rules — consult your attorney or tax advisor.
Deed of Trust
Secures a loan against real property — the borrower pledges the property as collateral.
Tap for details ›
Notarization required?Yes — must be notarized and recorded to create a valid lien on the property.
Thumbprint required?Yes.
What we do:Notarize the deed of trust as part of the loan package, along with all other documents requiring notarization.
Good to know:This is the core security document in a California mortgage. It is part of virtually every purchase and refinance package.
Refinance Package
A full set of loan documents when you are replacing an existing mortgage with a new one.
Tap for details ›
Notarization required?Yes — multiple documents in the package require notarization, including the deed of trust and various disclosures.
Thumbprint required?Yes — for all documents affecting real property.
What we do:Walk through the entire package, identify each signature and notarization point, verify identity, notarize, and return the completed package to the lender or title company.
Good to know:Refinance packages can be 80–150+ pages. Allow 30–60 minutes for the signing. We do not provide legal or financial advice about the loan terms.
Purchase / Buyer Package
The full set of closing documents when buying a home or investment property.
Tap for details ›
Notarization required?Yes — deed of trust, title affidavits, and other documents require notarization.
Thumbprint required?Yes.
What we do:Handle the full signing appointment — verify ID for all signers, notarize every required document, and return the package to escrow or the title company.
Good to know:Purchase packages are typically the largest signing. Allow 45–75 minutes. All signers must be present with valid ID.
Seller Package
Documents the seller signs to transfer ownership to the buyer at closing.
Tap for details ›
Notarization required?Yes — the seller's grant deed and identity affidavits require notarization.
Thumbprint required?Yes.
What we do:Notarize the grant deed, affidavit of identity, and any other seller documents prepared by escrow.
Good to know:Seller packages are smaller and faster than buyer packages — typically 15–30 minutes.
HELOC Documents
Home Equity Line of Credit documents that allow you to borrow against your home's equity.
Tap for details ›
Notarization required?Yes — the deed of trust securing the HELOC and various disclosures require notarization.
Thumbprint required?Yes.
What we do:Notarize the HELOC package and return completed documents to the lender.
Good to know:HELOC packages are typically smaller than a full purchase or refinance. Allow 20–40 minutes.
Loan Modification
Adjusts the terms of an existing loan — rate, payment, or duration — without a full refinance.
Tap for details ›
Notarization required?Yes — the modification agreement and any updated deed of trust documents require notarization.
Thumbprint required?Yes.
What we do:Notarize the modification documents and return them to the lender or servicer.
Good to know:Loan modification packages are typically small — often just a few pages. Quick signing, usually 15–20 minutes.
Reconveyance / Lien Release
Releases the lender's lien on a property after the loan has been paid off.
Tap for details ›
Notarization required?Depends — some reconveyance documents require notarization before recording; others are filed directly by the lender or trustee.
Thumbprint required?If notarization is required, yes.
What we do:Notarize the reconveyance or lien release when required by the lender or title company.
Good to know:If you've paid off a loan and need proof the lien is released, contact your lender first — they typically initiate this process.

Common Questions

Real Estate Notary FAQ

Answers to the questions we hear most about notarizing real estate documents in California.

Can you explain my loan documents?

We are not attorneys or loan officers and cannot give legal or financial advice. We can point out where to sign and notarize your signature, but any questions about terms, rates, or legal effect should be answered by your lender, escrow officer, or attorney.

Do I need witnesses for real estate documents?

Most California real estate documents do not require witnesses beyond the notary. Some out‑of‑state or lender-specific documents may request witnesses; let us know ahead of time if your documents mention witnesses so we can plan accordingly.

Can you notarize for out-of-state properties?

Yes. As long as the notarization itself follows California notary law and is performed in California, the documents can relate to property in another state. Your escrow or attorney can confirm any state-specific formatting they require.

What ID do I need for a real estate notarization?

California law requires a valid, current government-issued photo ID such as a California driver license, state ID card, U.S. passport, or foreign passport. Expired IDs are not accepted. A thumbprint is also required in the notary journal for documents affecting real property.

Can you handle last-minute signings?

Often, yes. Real estate timelines can change quickly. Call or text with your deadline, and we will let you know the soonest available time for a signing.

Do you work directly with escrow companies?

Yes. We frequently coordinate directly with escrow officers, who send the documents to us or to you ahead of time. This helps make the signing smoother and ensures everything needed is ready at the appointment.

What if a signer is out of town or unavailable?

If one party cannot be present, a power of attorney may allow another person to sign on their behalf. Check with your escrow officer or attorney first — we can notarize the POA as a separate appointment if needed.

Do real estate documents require a thumbprint?

Yes. California Civil Code §1189 requires a notary to obtain a thumbprint in their journal for any document affecting real property, including deeds, deeds of trust, and quitclaim deeds.
