Client Document Center
Every signer must demonstrate a willingness to sign the documents without coercion. He/she must also be aware of what they are signing and understand the significance of the transaction. Documents cannot be notarized if there is any cognitive impairment.
Please note that we are not attorneys and cannot give any legal advice on how to complete your forms or which forms would fit your situation. Also, we cannot notarize a document that has already been signed.
See descriptions to choose which form would work best for your situation.
Nevada Acknowledgement Form
A notary acknowledgment is a formal declaration made by an individual known as a notary public. The acknowledgment certifies that the signer of a document has appeared before the notary, personally acknowledged the contents of the document and executed it as his/her free act and deed.
Nevada Jurat
A jurat (verification upon oath) requires the signer to be compelled to truthfulness regarding the content of the document. The signer is required to take an oath/affirmation before the Notary in order for the receiving agency to trust the signer's statements within the document.
Nevada Statutory Power of Attorney
This document gives the person you designate as your agent the power to make decisions concerning your property for you. Your agent will be able to make decisions and act with respect to your property (including your money) whether or not you are able to act for yourself.
Nevada Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care decisions
The Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care appoints someone to ensure that health care wishes are followed. Family members, even a spouse, have no legal right to order health care decisions unless appointed by the individual who is being cared for or by being appointed their Guardian by a court.
Nevada State Declaration of Homestead
When you record a Declaration of Homestead, Nevada law protects the equity in your home up to $605,000 from general creditor claims (unpaid medical bills, bankruptcy, charge card debts, business/personal loans, accidents) but would not preclude a seizure or forced sale of your residence from general creditors if your equity exceeds the $605,000. A creditor may file suit and can record a judgment lien against any real property you own. Recording a Declaration of Homestead protects your principal residence up to the statutory maximum. For example, if the value of your home is $645,000 and you have a first mortgage of $485,000 plus a second mortgage of $10,000, the equity is $150,000.
