Not every document needs a notary—but when it does, having one can make the difference between acceptance and rejection, between a smooth transaction and a legal headache.
If you’re living in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, there’s a good chance you’ll need notary services at some point. Whether you’re managing personal affairs, helping a loved one, or finalizing a business deal, notarization ensures that your documents are legally recognized, fraud-resistant, and properly executed.
This article covers the top five documents Tewksbury residents commonly need notarized—and why each one matters.
1. Power of Attorney (POA)
A power of attorney is a legal document that allows someone else to make financial or medical decisions on your behalf. Without notarization, a POA may be rejected by banks, hospitals, or courts.
Types of POA we regularly notarize for Tewksbury residents include:
- Durable POA for financial decisions
- Healthcare proxy or medical POA
- Limited POA for real estate closings
- Temporary POA for military or travel use
We frequently handle notarization of power of attorney documents for aging parents, medical patients, and residents planning overseas travel.
2. Real Estate Documents
Whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing, or selling investment property, real estate documents almost always require notarization. In Tewksbury, these are some of the most common:
- Deeds (quitclaim, warranty)
- Mortgage paperwork
- Homestead declarations
- Loan modifications
- Escrow instructions
We work with realtors, mortgage brokers, and local attorneys to provide on-site or mobile notarizations for property deals across Tewksbury and surrounding towns.
3. Affidavits and Sworn Statements
An affidavit is a written statement of fact that is sworn to be true and signed in front of a notary. These are often required for:
- Court filings
- Insurance claims
- Custody and family law cases
- Immigration support
- Name changes
We help residents prepare and notarize affidavits that are accepted by courts, government agencies, and legal offices throughout Massachusetts.
4. Travel Consent Forms for Minors
If your child is traveling without one or both parents—especially internationally—most airlines, border agents, and countries will require a notarized travel consent form.
This is especially common during school vacations, summer camp, or when a child travels with grandparents or relatives.
We make this process easy by:
- Providing the correct form
- Verifying parent/guardian ID
- Notarizing the signature in person
- Offering same-day appointments
We’ve notarized dozens of these forms for families flying out of Boston Logan Airport or traveling on school trips.
5. Wills and Estate Planning Documents
Planning for the future is critical, and estate documents need to be notarized to be enforceable. While Massachusetts doesn’t require a will to be notarized to be valid, having a self-proving affidavit notarized with the will ensures it won’t be challenged in probate.
Other common estate documents that should be notarized include:
- Living wills
- Trust agreements
- Beneficiary forms
- Guardianship designations
We work with individuals and elder law attorneys to notarize these documents at home, in-office, or at assisted living centers throughout Tewksbury.
