An explanation of our general process.

  • The first thing we need for you to do is contact us so we can either send out an application and contract over email or we can fill out an application with you over the phone. 
  • Once we have your application and contract, it takes about 2-8 business days to draw up the required paperwork. Once it is ready, someone from Sacramento Deed Services will contact you to set up the signing. 
  • Depending on your location, we can either set up a time and place to meet, or we can send the paperwork to you, at which time, you would find a notary public in your area, have it signed and notarized, and then mail it back to us. 
  • Once we have the completed paperwork, we will submit it to the appropriate county recorder with the required method of payment. 
  • We do not do electronic signings or recording. We do everything in "wet-copy". Signed in ink. 

What do I need to get this process started?

The list of items that we require is usually very easy to put together. They are listed below.

  1. We need an application filled out.
  2. We will need your Identification Card at the time of signing. 
  3. We may need a Death Certificate if you are ordering an Affidavit of Death 
  4. We can accept different types of payments. We can also accept credit cards, cash, and check payments after signing the documents.
  5. We don't need your social security information, or birth certificate. 

What does my payment cover?

Our fee covers:

  • In-office notarization
  • Our processing time
  • and the recording fee
  • It does not cover any required taxes

You only have to make one payment as long as you are near enough to our area to come into the office. Otherwise, you will need to pay for a notary public near you, or if you are in Sacramento County, or in a close-enough neighboring county, we can send an experienced notary public to meet you at a separate location for an additional fee.

What do I do once I have received the paperwork?

If you are in an area that requires us to send you the documents, then you will need to:

  • Make sure that the documents look correct. Any necessary changes can be corrected fairly easily, so don't get worried if you see that a comma is missing. 
  • Look on Google for a Notary Public near you. 
  • Once the documents are signed and notarized, you can use the manila envelope that comes with the mailed packet, or you can put in in your own envelope. 
  • Mail it back.

Can you send a notary public to me, if I live too far away to come to your office?

We can only supply a notary if you are close enough to Sacramento County. Otherwise, you will need to find one. 

Can I have request a mobile notary for stuff besides property transfers?

Absolutely. Our Mobile Notary Public, Meloney, is extremely experienced and reliable.
