What Is Estate Planning?

Estate plans clarify how a person’s financial and physical assets will be distributed after they pass away. An estate refers to everything a person owns, including items such as their home, car, investments, and personal possessions. To help people prepare for the future, estate planning attorneys assist in crafting legal documents like powers of attorney, trusts, property transfers, deeds, and wills.

How Can a Notary Help an Estate Planning Attorney?

Notaries play a significant role in estate planning by helping legal professionals with document signing during the estate planning process. They can provide these services:
  • Verifying identities: A notary can check the identification documents of the signers to confirm they are the correct individuals.
  • Witnessing signatures: The presence of a notary during signing adds a layer of authenticity and can help prevent the creation of fraudulent documents. 
  • Certifying documents: A regular notary can notarize real estate documents required for the estate planning process. 
  • Offering advice: Notaries can offer general information about the notary process and why it is essential in estate planning.

How Much Can You Make Assisting With Estate Planning?

Notaries can earn between $175 and $200 per assignment when working for a nationwide firm that offers estate planning services. For independent assignments, you can make an average of $90 as a notary for each appointment, which takes about 20 to 45 minutes.

There are also multiple opportunities for additional income. For instance, you can charge a travel fee to deliver the travel documents based on the distance. On average, an estate planning package may require nine notarizations, which can make you more money, up to $75 on top of your service fee. The more estate planning documents you can notarize, the more money you will make. 

​Notaries can set their own fees for their services, and the more they charge, the more income they can earn. However, there may be regulations or guidelines on what they can charge for assisting in estate planning.
