— Elizabeth Seraf NY Notary Commission #01SE0003200
The most common notarial act. An acknowledgment confirms that you signed a document voluntarily and that your signature is genuinely yours. I’ll verify your identity, witness your signing (or confirm it happened), and affix my digital notary seal. Common for: deeds, real estate closings, loan documents, and lease agreements.
A jurat goes a step further — you’ll sign the document in my presence and swear under oath that the information inside is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge. I administer the oath, witness your signature, and complete the notarial certificate. Common for: affidavits, sworn statements, and legal declarations.
Need to swear to a fact for a legal proceeding, a school enrollment, or a government filing? I’ll notarize your affidavit with the proper jurat language, verify your identity, and ensure the document meets New York state standards.
A power of attorney gives someone else the authority to act on your behalf — whether for finances, healthcare decisions, or legal matters. I’ll verify your identity, confirm you’re signing willingly, and ensure the document is notarized correctly so it holds up legally.
Moving into a new apartment or finalizing a lease renewal? I can notarize your rental agreement, lease amendment, or any document your landlord or property manager requires a notary seal on. Fast turnaround so your paperwork doesn’t get delayed.
Specialized forms like HUD-1 closing statements, condo deeds, and transfer documents require precise notarization to be legally valid. I make sure every signature, seal, and notarial certificate is done right the first time.
