HELOC vs refinance in Nevada: what differs at the signing table?

HELOC and refinance packages share many core forms, yet they differ in the number of pages, notarized documents, and post-signing requirements. A refinance commonly includes a Deed of Trust that must be notarized, plus lender and title affidavits that may require jurats. A HELOC often has fewer notarized pages but can include bank-specific riders and disclosures that require initials throughout the set.

  • ID and name matching: Both package types require valid government issued ID that matches vesting. Some lenders request two forms of ID for HELOCs. We follow the assignment directions precisely.
  • Notarized pages: Refinance sets almost always include a notarized Deed of Trust. HELOC sets may include a Deed of Trust or a similar security instrument depending on the lender. Affidavits that require a jurat appear in both package types when instructed by escrow.
  • Right to Cancel: Both often include Notice of Right to Cancel for each borrower where applicable. The number of copies and initials are controlled by lender instructions.
  • Scan backs and drop: HELOC assignments frequently request same-day scan backs before drop. Refinance files may require partial or full scan backs. We provide clean scans and carrier drop with tracking.

Lake Mead Mobile Notary guides the table, checks signature and initial blocks, and returns the file according to title requirements. Schedule a Downtown Summerlin appointment that fits your workday. Book online or call (702) 748-7444.

Can I notarize my Nevada will myself or do I need a professional notary?

No, you cannot notarize your own will in Nevada. Nevada law requires a licensed, impartial notary public to witness the signing and complete the self-proving affidavit. The notary must verify the identity of all parties, ensure voluntary execution, and confirm the testator's mental capacity. Using a professional Nevada notary like Lake Mead Mobile Notary ensures proper compliance with Nevada Revised Statutes, prevents costly mistakes, and provides the legal protections that self-proving wills offer.
