Pricing

We do not publish a price list, because a list on a page cannot know where you are, when you need us, or what you are signing. The booking form does. It prices your visit exactly and shows you the itemized total before you pay anything.

See your exact price

Your total is itemized before you pay, and it takes about two minutes. Nothing is charged while you are looking.

Questions first? Call or text (774) 826-5193.

What your price is made of

Every total is built from the same short list. The form asks you about each one, in this order, and adds it up as you go.

  • Your documents

    What kind of document it is, how many you have, and how many original copies you need of each one. Estate documents, real estate closings, corporate documents, everyday notarizations and certified copies are each priced differently.

  • Travel to your town

    Travel is a set fee for each Massachusetts town. It is not mileage and it is not a guess. Choose your town in the booking form and the travel fee for that town is applied automatically.

  • Hospital and care facility visits

    Visits to a hospital, nursing home or assisted living residence cost more than a visit to a home or an office. These places take longer to get into and longer to get out of.

  • Printing

    If you need us to print your documents and bring them with us, printing is added. If you have your documents ready, it is not.

  • The time and the day

    Early morning visits, evening visits, Sundays and federal bank holidays cost more than a weekday during business hours. Early and late visits also cost more the further your town is from us, because of the drive at each end.

  • How many people sign

    How many people will sign the same document. Two people signing one deed together is two signers. If each person has their own document, that is one signer each and a separate document for each person.

  • Witnesses

    You may bring your own witnesses at no cost. If you need us to arrange witnesses, ask at least four hours ahead. Witnesses from us are never guaranteed, because they depend on who is available that day.

Prices are per document

This is the one thing worth reading twice. Every document is priced on its own, and every original copy of a document is priced on its own. Two originals of the same power of attorney are two documents, not one.

Please add every document and every copy to the form before you book. That is the only way the total you see is the total you pay.

If something is added once we are at your appointment, or if a document turns out to be a different type than the one you booked, it is priced then and there and billed at the appointment before the work is finished. A common example: a power of attorney booked as a general notarization. A power of attorney is an estate document and carries an estate document price. We will always show you the difference and get your agreement before we continue.

Where we travel

We come to you anywhere in Massachusetts. Every town we serve appears in the town list in the booking form, each with its own travel fee. If your town is on that list, we come to you.

We do not serve the islands. That means Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Cuttyhunk and the other islands are not bookable, and they are not in the town list.

Paying, and what happens if plans change

Payment

  • Payment in full is made when you book, not at the appointment.
  • Pay by Square, Venmo, Cash App or Zelle, then upload a screenshot of your receipt.
  • Your appointment is confirmed once we confirm the payment, and you get a confirmation by email.

Cancelling

  • More than 24 hours before your appointment: half of what you paid is kept as a cancellation fee and the rest is refunded, with a minimum cancellation fee set out in the policy you read and accept in the booking form. If what you paid is at or below that minimum, no refund is issued.
  • Within 24 hours of your appointment: there is no cash refund. Instead of cancelling, you may move the appointment and use what you paid once as a credit toward the new date and time.
  • Once the notary is on the way or has arrived: no refund. The same applies to no-shows, and to a visit that cannot be completed because the signer refuses to sign, is not able or willing to sign, has no valid unexpired photo identification, or because required witnesses are missing and were not arranged.
  • If you reschedule and then cancel: it is handled as cancelling the original appointment, on the original date and time.
  • Refunds that are due are sent back the same way you paid and take five to seven business days to appear.

The full policy is shown in the booking form, and you accept it there before you submit.

Why we do not list a price list

Every visit is different. The town, the time of day, the documents and how many originals you need all change the number. A price list sitting on a web page cannot know any of that, and a list that has slipped even slightly out of date is worse than no list at all. It quotes somebody one number and then we have to charge another, and that is not how I want to do business.

The booking form knows all of it. It prices your visit for your town, your time and your documents, adds it up in front of you, and shows you the itemized total before you pay. What you see there is what you pay.

Itemized before you pay. About two minutes.

Prefer to ask first? Call or text (774) 826-5193.

A notary public is not an attorney and cannot give legal advice, prepare your documents, or tell you which document or which kind of notarization you need. For questions about the document itself, please ask the person or office that prepared it.
