St. Louis Estate Planning Notary — Wills, Trusts & POA

Every October is a good reminder: an estate plan only works once it's signed correctly.

A will, trust, or power of attorney doesn't protect your family until it is signed correctly, with the right signers, the right witnesses, a valid ID, and proper notarization where one is required. Missing any of those can mean starting over, or worse, a document that doesn't hold up when your family needs it.


Close MO Deals handles the signing stage. Our founder spent about 15 years as a title closing agent and is a licensed real estate broker, so we treat every estate signing like a closing: documents checked, signers identified, every page accounted for.

Where CMD Comes In

How It Works

We come to you Call or text 877-303-3257

  • Your home
  • Attorney and financial advisor offices
  • Hospitals and hospice (see our [Hospital Notary page])
  • Senior living, nursing and rehab facilities
  • Workplaces and other convenient locations

Facility visits depend on the facility's access rules and the signer being alert and ready to sign.


Three Steps From Ready to Signed

  1. Get your documents prepared. Your attorney or document provider gives you final documents and signing instructions, including whether witnesses are needed.
  2. Request your appointment. Tell us the location, date, number of signers, document type and whether you need witnesses, printing or scanbacks. We confirm availability and send your full quote.
  3. Sign with a professional. We verify each signer's ID, watch everyone sign, notarize where required and return documents the way your attorney asked.

 

Checklist

Getting Ready for Your Signing

  • Valid, unexpired photo ID for every signer (driver's license, state ID or passport)
  • All documents printed (or tell us if you need printing)
  • Don't sign or date anything until the notary is with you
  • Witnesses arranged if your attorney requires them — or ask us to arrange them
  • Signers alert, ready, and signing by their own choice
  • Legal questions answered by your attorney beforehand

Estate Planning Notary FAQs


Can you write my will or trust? No. We provide signing and notary services only. We can't prepare documents, choose forms or explain what they mean legally. An estate planning attorney can help you with that.


Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Missouri? Yes, for a durable power of attorney. Missouri requires it to be signed, dated and acknowledged before a notary (RSMo 404.705). Your attorney decides which form you need; we handle the signing.


Does a will need to be notarized in Missouri? A Missouri will generally needs two witnesses. Many people also add a notarized self-proving affidavit so the witnesses may not have to testify later. Ask your attorney what your documents require.


Can you bring witnesses? Yes, when requested ahead of time and available. Get the number and requirements from your attorney, and we'll confirm the arrangement in your quote.


How much does an estate signing cost?   

Estate planning signings start at $175. The final price depends on location, number of signers and documents, witnesses, printing, scanbacks and timing. We confirm the full price before you book.


Can you come to a hospital or senior community? Yes, subject to the facility's access rules and the signer's readiness. Share any check-in instructions when you request.


Can we sign online instead? Some documents can be signed through remote online notarization. See our online notary page → closemodeals.com/notary-online-request. Check with your attorney first, since some estate documents must be signed in person.


What if a signer doesn't have a valid ID? Call us before booking. Missouri allows credible witnesses in some situations, and we'll tell you what you need.
