People search “notary for a will” when they are putting affairs in order. A notary does not write wills.
Important. Swift Mobile Notary is based in Clayton, Missouri, and provides mobile notary services across the greater St. Louis area. We are not a law firm and we are not your attorney.
I am not an attorney and have no authority to give advice on immigration or other legal matters.
Under Missouri law, a notary who is not an attorney shall not assist another person in drafting, completing, selecting, or understanding a document or transaction requiring a notarial act (RSMo 486.675). We will not tell you which form to use, how to fill it out, or whether you “need” a particular paper. For those questions, talk to a licensed Missouri attorney or the agency that issued the form. Official reference: Missouri Secretary of State Notary Handbook.
What this is for
Use this when an estate attorney (or a package counsel prepared) includes pages that call for a notarial act. Validity of a will is a legal question for a Missouri attorney, not for us. Available for families in Clayton and the greater St. Louis area, including St. Charles County.
What to bring
- The pages your attorney prepared
- ID for every signer
- Any witnesses your attorney already arranged
What we can and cannot do
We can: complete a notarial act that is already built into the package when the right people appear.
We cannot: draft a will, pick a template, explain self-proving language as advice for your situation, or say your will is valid (RSMo 486.675). Ask The Missouri Bar referral resources if you need counsel.
Steps
- Meet with a Missouri estate attorney first.
- Only text or call for a time when the signing package is final.
- Appear with ID and any required witnesses.
- Follow your attorney’s instructions for storing or filing the signed will.
