Legal Videography
Legal videography services for document signings provide a professional and secure method of recording important legal processes, ensuring that the signing of documents is accurately documented on video. These services are often utilized for situations where a clear, indisputable record of the signing is necessary, such as in the execution of wills, contracts, property deeds, affidavits, and other legal documents. A skilled legal videographer will set up high-quality recording equipment, ensuring optimal lighting and sound conditions to capture clear visuals and audio.
A Notary Public is required to conduct this recording.
Acknowledgment
The form most completed by the notary public is the acknowledgement. A notary acknowledgement certifies that the signer of a document is who they say they are, personally appeared before the notary public on the date indicated and the county indicated on the acknowledgement form, and that the signer acknowledged executing the document.
Jurat
A jurat is a formal statement attached to a document, typically an affidavit or deposition, that verifies it was signed under oath before a notary public. It is the second most common type of notary certificate. It is usually used for “sworn statements” or “affidavits.” The proper jurat wording can be identified by the words “subscribed and sworn.”
Power of Attorney - Certified Copy
A California Notary Public can certify copies of power of attorney. A certified copy of a power of attorney that has been certified by a notary public has the same force and effect as the original power of attorney. The certification shall state that the certifying person (i.e., notary public) has examined the original power of attorney and the copy and that the copy is a true and correct copy of the original power of attorney.
Proof Of Execution
If a person, called the principal, has signed a document but does not personally appear before a notary public, another person can appear on the principal’s behalf to prove the principal signed (or “executed”) the document. That person is called a subscribing witness.
A proof of execution by a subscribing witness cannot be used in conjunction with any power of attorney, quitclaim deed, grant deed (other than a trustee’s deed resulting from a decree of foreclosure, or a nonjudicial foreclosure pursuant to Civil Code section 2924, or to a deed of reconveyance), mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, any instrument affecting real property, or any instrument requiring a notary public to obtain a thumbprint from the party signing the document in the notary public’s journal.
Affidavits
Affidavits are one of the most widely used types of legal documents.
An affidavit is a written statement in which the signer or "affiant" verifies that the document is true. They differ from sworn oaths only in that the relevant parties must sign them instead of swearing them out loud. The person swearing to this written statement is called the affiant.
Real Estate Documents
Living Wills and Trusts
A trust is valid after the trustor signs the document, they don't need to have the document witnessed or notarized to make it valid. However, many individuals choose to sign their document in the presence of a notary public to help authenticate the document.
Deeds and Title Transfers
Notarizing the deed adds validity. The grantor signs the deed in the presence of a notary public. The executed deed is delivered to the buyer and recorded with the county recorder's office. Recording establishes the buyer's legal ownership and provides notice to the public.
Lease Agreements
If applicable, preferred or required, notarizing a lease/rental agreement is an option to add a layer of protection for both parties.
Demand Letter
Demand Letters explain your position to the other party. Demand letters not only help the other person understand the dispute from your point of view, but also help you think through every aspect of your case, including the important facts, your legal arguments, and the evidence you'll need to prove your claim.

What Is A Jurat?
A jurat is a formal statement attached to a document, typically an affidavit or deposition, that verifies it was signed under oath before a notary public. It is the second most common type of notary certificate. It is usually used for “sworn statements” or “affidavits.” The proper jurat wording can be identified by the words “subscribed and sworn.”
Process
1. The person signing the document (called the affiant) swears to the truthfulness of the information in it.
2. A notary public or other authorized official administers the oath and witnesses the signing.
- The notary must use the California jurat verbiage, as no other state’s wording is sufficient.
- Affirmation: “Do you solemnly affirm that the statements in this document are true to the best of your knowledge and belief?”
- Oath: “Do you solemnly swear that the statements in this document are true to the best of your knowledge and belief, so help you God?”
3. The jurat itself then records the date, location, and official's details who witnessed the oath.
Purpose
Jurats add weight to sworn statements, making them more credible evidence in court proceedings. They deter false statements by reminding the signer of the legal consequences of perjury (lying under oath).
Documents That May Request Jurats
- Affidavits
- Sworn Statement
- True and Accurate
- Copy of Vital Records (Birth, Marriage, School, Etc)
- Occupancy Affidavits
- Name Affidavits
- Affidavit of Death of
- Joint Tenants
- Affidavit of Death of Trustee
- Declarations
What Is An Affidavit
Affidavits are one of the most widely used types of legal documents.
An affidavit is a written statement in which the signer or "affiant" verifies that the document is true. They differ from sworn oaths only in that the relevant parties must sign them instead of swearing them out loud. The person swearing to this written statement is called the affiant.
They are often more convenient than swearing an oath because they do not require the person attesting the information to be present. They are an accurate way to keep records of vital details for court cases and other proceedings.
Affidavits include a sworn statement made by the affiant and witnessed by a notary or officer of the law. This statement attests that the facts included in the affidavit are true to the best of the affiant's personal knowledge. Legal proceedings use these documents to verify evidence for inclusion in trials and other functions.
Requirements
Voluntary
Affiants must make the oath featured in their affidavit voluntarily. Their legal representation must prove that no one has pressured the affiant into signing.
Signed
An affidavit must be signed by the person making the statement to be considered legally binding. In many cases, the affiant must also sign the document in front of a witness. That witness is often the notary public, but they could be anyone willing to swear the signature is authentic.
Notarized
Notarization is the most secure way for a court to authenticate an affidavit’s authenticity.
Applicable Uses of Affidavits
These documents are among the most commonly used in legal proceedings for these cases below:
- Contract work. Contractors working on government projects submit these documents to verify that they've withheld the state taxes.
- Estate planning: Affidavits signed by the estate's owner must accompany estate planning documents such as wills.
- Financial statements. In bankruptcy and divorce cases, courts may use financial affidavits to verify relevant financial information.
- Verification of residence. These documents are a common way for someone to verify their address in the absence of other proof.
- Marriage. Subjects can use these documents in place of a marriage certificate to verify a person’s marital status.
- Service. When legal representation files documents, they must submit an affidavit of service along with them. This confirms that the court officers served the documents to all relevant parties.
- Verification of domicile. When a person dies, their executor can sign an affidavit confirming their final place of residence.
What Is An Acknowledgement?
The form most completed by the notary public is the acknowledgement. A notary acknowledgement certifies that the signer of a document is who they say they are, personally appeared before the notary public on the date indicated and the county indicated on the acknowledgement form, and that the signer acknowledged executing the document.
Note that it is not necessary for the document to be signed in the presence of the notary, only that the signer personally appear to acknowledge having signed the document.
Effective January 1, 2015, the following disclaimer must appear in a box at the top of the certificate, and the disclaimer must be legible: "A notary public or other officer completing this certificate verifies only the identity of the individual who signed the document to which this certificate is attached, and not the truthfulness, accuracy, or validity of that document."
Purpose
This process is a keystone in ensuring trust and authenticity to your paperwork. The Notary Acknowledgement is your guardian, affirming that you are indeed who you claim to be, you understand what you are agreeing to and you made this choice freely, without undue pressure.
Documents That May Request Acknowledgements
Here are some common scenarios where you might get something acknowledged by a notary:
- Real Estate Transactions: Deeds, loan documents, and other paperwork involved in buying or selling property often require notarized acknowledgments. This ensures all parties involved understand the legal implications before signing.
- Power of Attorney Documents: When granting someone the legal authority to act on your behalf (through a Power of Attorney), an acknowledgment from a notary verifies you comprehend what power you're giving them.
- Business Filings: Some business documents, like certain contracts or loan agreements, might require notarized acknowledgments from authorized representatives.
- Affidavits (limited use): In some states, an acknowledgment can be used instead of a jurat for affidavits (sworn statements) if the focus is on verifying the signing process, not the truthfulness of the content. However, jurats (which involve an oath) are generally preferred for affidavits.
Here are some situations where a notary acknowledgment typically wouldn't be required:
- Everyday Documents: Most everyday documents, like permission slips or rental agreements, don't require notarization or acknowledgments.
- Wills: While some states allow wills to be notarized, it's not mandatory and typically not recommended. Proper witness signatures are usually sufficient.
- Government Forms: Most government forms, like tax returns or voter registration applications, don't require notarization.notarized on time, and we strive to make the process as smooth as possible.
