Second homes and seasonal rentals drive most of the notarial work here. Rental agreements, property management authorisations and closing documents for owners who live out of state.
If you own here but live elsewhere, a power of attorney lets someone act on the property without you flying in for a signature. We handle those regularly, and we can notarise remotely by video where the document and the receiving party allow it. For a settlement you cannot attend, tell us early — the lender usually has requirements about how a POA must be worded and witnessed.
