Advance Directives: Important Documents Before You Need Them
Advance directives help communicate your wishes if you become unable to speak for yourself.
Depending on your situation and state law, these documents may include things like:
A Living Will
A Healthcare Power of Attorney
A Durable Power of Attorney
Other estate-planning or medical decision-making documents
Having these documents prepared ahead of time can make a difficult situation easier for your family and help ensure your wishes are clearly documented.
One important step is making sure your documents are signed correctly. Some legal documents may require witnesses, notarization, or both depending on the document and applicable law.
The Notary Folks offers convenient mobile notary service throughout the Flathead Valley for clients who need documents notarized at home, at work, at a care facility, or another agreed location. We also offer Remote Online Notarizations!

Important: A notary can verify identity and witness signatures but cannot provide legal advice or tell you which legal documents you need. For questions about preparing an advance directive or estate-planning documents, consult a qualified attorney or appropriate healthcare professional.
