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.
A $50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment. This deposit is applied toward the total cost of your scheduled service, with the remaining balance due at the appointment. If you cancel your appointment for any reason, the $50 deposit will be retained to cover scheduling, administrative costs, and reserved appointment time. If Straub Document Group LLC is unable to fulfill your appointment, including being unable to provide requested witnesses, your $50 deposit will be refunded in full. If you need to reschedule, please contact us as soon as possible. Rescheduling is subject to availability and approval by Straub Document Group LLC.

Frequently asked
- How long does a power of attorney appointment take?
- Most POA signings take 15–20 minutes. If several documents are being signed at once, plan for 30 minutes.
- What does the signer need to bring?
- A current, unexpired government-issued photo ID and the unsigned power of attorney document. Do not sign it in advance — the signature must be made in the notary's presence.
- Does the agent (attorney-in-fact) need to be present?
- Usually not. In Minnesota, the person granting authority is the one who signs before the notary. Some forms include an acceptance page for the agent — if yours does, the agent should attend or sign separately.
- Do I need witnesses for a power of attorney?
- Minnesota statutory short-form POAs generally require notarization rather than witnesses, but some institutions and out-of-state forms ask for witnesses. If you're unsure, send us the form ahead of time and we'll confirm before the appointment.
- Can you notarize a POA in a hospital or nursing home?
- Yes. Bedside signings are a regular part of our work. The signer must be awake, aware of what they're signing, and able to communicate their intent and sign or direct a signature.
- What if the signer can't physically hold a pen?
- Minnesota allows a signature by mark or a signature made at the signer's direction with witnesses present. Let us know in advance so we can arrive prepared.
- 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, with no added card fee.
