Transparent pricing
Every appointment starts at $75.00 and includes up to two signers plus standard-area travel. A scheduling fee may be added to the base price based on when you'd like to meet — scheduling fees apply per appointment (not per document), and only the highest applicable fee is ever charged.
A $50 deposit reserves your appointment and is applied toward your final invoice. The balance is invoiced after the signing is complete.
Deposits become non-refundable if the appointment is canceled less than 24 hours before the scheduled appointment time. Cancellations made 24 hours or more before the appointment are eligible for a refund of the deposit.

Frequently asked
- Does a Minnesota health care directive need to be notarized?
- Minnesota law requires a health care directive to be either notarized or signed by two qualifying witnesses. Notarization is the cleaner option because it avoids questions about witness eligibility later.
- Who can act as a witness if we go that route?
- A witness generally cannot be the named health care agent, and at least one witness must not be a health care provider caring for the signer. If witnesses are needed, we can arrange them when available.
- Can you meet at a hospital or hospice?
- Yes. Bedside appointments at hospitals, hospices, assisted living, and nursing facilities are routine for us. Facility visits use our facility rate.
- How long does the appointment take?
- Typically 15–30 minutes, and we don't rush these conversations.
- What should we have ready?
- The completed but unsigned directive, and a current, unexpired government-issued photo ID for the signer.
- Can you come today?
- Often, yes. Most Twin Cities appointments are filled the same day, frequently within a few hours. Submit a request or call and we'll confirm availability before anything is finalized.
- How does payment work?
- A deposit reserves your appointment and is credited toward the final invoice. The balance is invoiced after the signing is complete. Cards, cash, and checks are accepted — card payments include a $4.95 processing fee.
