Estate planning is a deeply personal and legally significant process, requiring careful attention to detail and compliance with state laws. While online notarization has become a popular option for many documents, it is not always ideal for estate planning in Wisconsin. At On Call & Mobile Notary, we specialize in mobile notary services to ensure your needs are met professionally and carefully. Here’s why we don’t offer online notarization for estate planning and why our mobile services better fit your needs.

The Complexities of Wisconsin State Regulations
Unlike simpler document types, estate planning notarization often involves nuanced legal requirements, making online notarization less practical. Key challenges include:
Attorney Supervision: Wisconsin mandates attorney oversight for many online notarizations, particularly for estate planning documents like wills, advance directives, and powers of attorney. This added requirement introduces complexity and significantly increases costs, ultimately passed on to you.
Increased Expenses: The need for attorney involvement in online notarization processes could lead to higher fees than mobile notary services. By focusing on in-person notarizations, we provide a more cost-effective solution tailored to your needs.
Challenges for Aging Clients
Online notarization can pose additional hurdles for aging clients who may be less comfortable with technology or unable to navigate complex online platforms. Specific issues include:
Technological Barriers: Many older adults find it challenging to adapt to the technology required for online notarization, such as video conferencing software and electronic document handling.
Identification Issues: Aging clients often face difficulties with the online identification process, especially if their government-issued ID has expired. This situation is common for individuals who have stopped driving or reside in nursing homes or long-term care facilities, where ID renewals may not be a priority or readily accessible.

By offering mobile notary services, we eliminate the barriers posed by online notarization and provide a seamless, accessible experience. Key benefits include:
