Have these ready.

Valid and unexpired. If it's at home, someone can bring it; we can't proceed without it.
A patient who is awake and willing
We speak with the signer directly. Family can arrange the visit but can't answer for them.
The unsigned documents
A health care proxy needs two adult witnesses; a power of attorney needs two witnesses plus the notary. We'll tell you who qualifies.
A word with the nurse
Let the unit know we're coming. Some hospitals ask visitors to check in at security first.

Questions
Six answers.
Yes. Hospital calls get priority. Call as early as you can so we can coordinate with the family and the nursing staff, and tell us when the patient is usually most alert.
A valid government photo ID, the ability to communicate clearly with the notary, and a genuine wish to sign. We cannot notarize for someone who is unconscious, confused, heavily sedated or being pressured.
Of course. Family usually makes the call and gathers the documents. The notary still speaks with the patient directly and privately to confirm identity, understanding and willingness.
Health care proxies, durable powers of attorney, living wills, affidavits of subscribing witness for a will, HIPAA releases and deed transfers. We bring blank New York statutory forms in case a copy is missing.

New York allows a signature by mark, and a signer who cannot write can direct another person to sign in their presence and the notary’s. Tell us in advance so the certificate is completed correctly and the right witnesses are in the room.
