Mobile Notary Services at Life Care Center of Las Vegas

Most title companies require using their own notaries for real estate closings to maintain chain of custody, ensure compliance with specific lender instructions, and manage liability. While your own notary is legally valid in Nevada, title companies contractually mandate their selected notaries. Using an unauthorized notary can lead to rejection, closing delays, or escrow complications.

Why Title Companies Insist on Their Notaries:

Title companies coordinate with lenders, insurers, and county recorders—all of whom have specific requirements. They need notarization consistency and direct communication with the notary handling your closing. They also carry errors & omissions (E&O) insurance that covers their contracted notaries, which may not apply to independent notaries.

🔑 Can You Use Your Own Notary?

In rare cases, yes—but only with prior written approval from:

• The title company (may have exceptions for scheduling conflicts)
• Your lender (may require their approval)
• The seller's title company (if using separate title agents)

📋 Legitimate Reasons for Exception Requests:

• Your notary has existing relationship and coordination history
• Title company's notary has scheduling conflicts or excessive travel costs
• Out-of-state remote notarization is the only practical option
• Your notary is bonded, insured, and Nevada-commissioned

⚠️ Best Practice:

Always disclose your preferred notary to the title company early in the transaction. Get written approval in advance. If they refuse and delays occur, professional notaries in Summerlin and Water Street can coordinate with title company staff to facilitate acceptance or serve as backup if needed.

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.
