The Five-Star Experience You Deserve

Claudia Mitchell-McLeod • April 18, 2025

It started with a stamp—but it’s never just about the paper.

Whether I’m meeting a couple at a park to officiate their wedding, sitting with a senior to notarize a Power of Attorney, or guiding a young couple finalizing adoption papers, one thing has become very clear: the notary process is about so much more than ink and ID.

People call me for documents, but what I offer is something more: presence, compassion, and care.

Every signing is tied to something meaningful. Some are filled with joy—like helping a young couple with the final paperwork that makes their adoption official. Others carry a quiet weight—like meeting with an elderly client to notarize Power of Attorney documents for end-of-life planning. These aren’t just signatures. These are life moments, and I treat each one with the dignity and care it deserves.

To make things even easier, I offer mobile notary services. That means I come to you—where and when it’s convenient. Whether it's at your home, a hospital, a local café, or even a park, I’m available weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays to meet your needs with flexibility and professionalism.

From weddings to wills, housing transitions to adoption, notarizations show up in some of life’s most pivotal moments. A few examples of how I serve:

  • Estate and healthcare documents: Power of Attorney, living wills, advanced directives, and more.
  • Adoption and family agreements: Supporting families in creating and formalizing new beginnings.
  • Wedding ceremonies: As a Florida notary and ordained minister, I offer personalized Christian ceremonies that reflect your faith and your love story. Secular options are available as well, based on your preferences.
  • Real estate and transitions: From loan documents to residency forms, I help make the process smooth.
  • Legal forms & I-9s: I can notarize a wide variety of personal, professional, and government documents.

Please note: As a notary public, I am not authorized to provide legal advice or interpret documents.

If you’re looking for a notary who sees you—not just the signature—I’d be honored to serve you.
