As we age, preparing essential legal documents becomes a priority. At Gulf Coast Notary Pros, we work with seniors and their families across Southwest Florida to provide compassionate and professional notary services—both in-person and online.
Here are five critical documents every Florida senior should consider having notarized:
1. Power of Attorney (POA)
A notarized POA ensures someone you trust can handle your finances or make medical decisions if you’re unable to.
2. Advance Healthcare Directive
This document outlines your healthcare preferences in advance and often includes a living will. Notarization makes it legally enforceable.
3. Living Will
This declaration provides guidance for doctors and family about end-of-life care. Notarizing it helps avoid legal confusion during emergencies.
4. Last Will and Testament
Though wills don’t always require notarization, adding a notarized self-proving affidavit can speed up probate proceedings.
5. HIPAA Authorization Form
This allows your designated representative to access your medical records and is often required by hospitals or elder care providers.
