Notary Myths Busted: Clearing Up the Biggest Misconceptions About Mobile Notary Services

When it comes to mobile notary services—especially for important estate planning documents—misunderstandings can keep people from getting the help they need. At Riqueza Business Ventures™ LLC, we’ve seen how these myths can delay important legal processes and create unnecessary stress for clients.

That’s why we created our Notary Myths Busted series—to set the record straight, educate our community, and help families, attorneys, and business owners feel confident when booking a notary.

Myth #1: Mobile Notary Services Are Too Expensive

Reality: Mobile notary services can actually save you both money and time.
Our standard notarization is just $65 (including travel within 20 miles of Palo Alto). Compare that to the time, gas, parking fees, and missed work involved in visiting a notary office—and you’ll see why many clients find mobile services more cost-effective.

For estate planning, we handle up to 10 signatures for $180, which means your entire signing can happen in one smooth appointment, at your location.

Myth #2: Notaries Are Only Available During Business Hours

Reality: Life doesn’t always happen from 9 to 5—and neither do we.
Riqueza Business Ventures offers appointments 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Whether you’re an attorney with a last-minute signing or a family member coordinating across different schedules, we make it work on your timeline.

Myth #3: Mobile Notaries Can’t Handle Complex Documents

Reality: Estate planning documents are our specialty.
From wills and trusts to powers of attorney and healthcare directives, we handle the most important legal documents with precision and care. We work closely with estate planning firms and bring over 13 years of experience, NNA certification, and $100k in Errors & Omissions insurance to every signing.

Myth #4: You Have to Prepare Everything Yourself

Reality: We guide you through the process from start to finish.
We verify IDs, check for blank spaces, and ensure all signatures and notarizations meet legal requirements. Our goal is to take the stress out of signings so you can focus on the bigger picture.

Myth #5: All Notaries Provide the Same Service

Reality: The difference is in the details—and the dedication.
At Riqueza Business Ventures, we offer:

• Bilingual support (English & Spanish)

• 24/7 availability including holidays

• Secure file handling with immediate deletion after use

• Backup notary partners to ensure your signing is never delayed
