Transparent pricing
Every appointment starts at $100.00 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 $75 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
- How quickly can you come?
- Hospice requests are prioritized. Same-day service is usually available, and we respond to emergencies 24/7.
- What if the signer is fading in and out?
- The signer must be awake and able to understand and communicate their intent at the moment of signing. We work patiently around good windows in the day, and we'll tell you honestly if a signing shouldn't proceed.
- What identification is required?
- A current, unexpired government-issued photo ID for the signer. Please locate it before the visit — we cannot notarize without it.
- Do you coordinate with the hospice care team?
- Yes. We're used to working alongside hospice nurses, social workers, and chaplains, and we keep the visit calm and brief.
- Can family members serve as witnesses?
- Family members who are not named in the document can usually witness. Let us know in advance if witnesses are required and we'll help plan.
- 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.
