A Trustee signs with valid ID and evidence of capacity, typically a Certificate of Trust or relevant trust excerpt that authorizes real property transfers. A Power of Attorney (POA) agent signs with the original, properly executed Power of Attorney that grants authority to convey real estate. The signature block must show title capacity exactly, for example “Jane Doe, Trustee” or “John Smith, Attorney in Fact for Mary Smith.” We verify capacity and attach a Nevada-compliant acknowledgment so your deed records without delay.

Yes. Nevada DMV accepts VP-136 forms signed by deployed military personnel before departure or notarized by military notaries stationed overseas. Pre-deployment VP-136 notarization allows service members to authorize family members to sell vehicles, complete registration renewals, and handle DMV transactions during deployment throughout Las Vegas and Henderson military family communities.

Military notaries at overseas bases can notarize VP-136 forms provided the notarial certificate meets Nevada acknowledgment requirements. Nevada DMV accepts military notary certificates with proper commission information and official seal. Mobile notary service coordinates pre-deployment VP-136 notarization near Nellis Air Force Base and Creech AFB family housing areas.

🎖️ Common Military VP-136 Uses:

• Authorizing spouses to sell vehicles during PCS (Permanent Change of Station) moves
• Family members completing vehicle registration renewals while deployed
• Parents or siblings handling total loss insurance claims and title work
• Agents completing DMV transactions for service members on extended deployment
• Trade-in authorizations when military member cannot attend dealership signing

📋 Pre-Deployment VP-136 Best Practices:

• Schedule notarization 2-4 weeks before deployment departure
• List specific powers (sell, register, title transfer, insurance claims)
• Include all vehicles owned by service member
• Authorize trusted family member or power of attorney holder

Nevada DMV Form VP-136 remains valid until the specific transaction is completed or until the principal revokes the authorization in writing. There is no automatic expiration date, but most Nevada DMV offices recommend completing authorized transactions within 12 months of notarization to avoid questions about continuing validity. Professional VP-136 notarization ensures proper scope definition throughout Paradise and Las Vegas Valley.

Principals can revoke VP-136 authority at any time by providing written notice to the agent and Nevada DMV. For ongoing fleet management or business vehicle needs, principals may grant broad continuing authority, while one-time transactions like single vehicle sales typically use limited specific authority that terminates upon transaction completion.

⏱️ VP-136 Duration Considerations:

• No statutory expiration date under Nevada law
• Valid until transaction completed or principal revokes
• DMV clerks may question VP-136 older than 12 months
• Dealerships and title companies prefer fresh notarization per transaction
• Ongoing authority remains valid until formal revocation

📋 Best Practices for VP-136 Validity:

• One-time transactions: Obtain VP-136 notarization shortly before DMV visit
• Fleet management: Use continuing authority with clear scope definition
• Military deployment: Broad authority valid throughout deployment period
• Estate administration: Fresh VP-136 for each vehicle transfer recommended
• Out-of-state owners: Complete Nevada DMV transactions within 6-12 months

✅ Revocation Process:

• Principal provides written revocation notice to agent
• Principal notifies Nevada DMV of VP-136 revocation
• Agent must cease using revoked VP-136 immediately
• New VP-136 required for future transactions after revocation

Short answer: A Grant of Easement or Right of Way is completed with an acknowledgment. An Owner’s Affidavit, consent, or any sworn statement is completed with a jurat where the signer takes an oath or affirmation.

• Acknowledgment: Confirms identity and voluntary execution for the granting document. The notary verifies who signed and completes a Nevada compliant certificate so the Recorder can accept it.
• Jurat: Used when the signer is swearing to facts, such as an ownership or encroachment affidavit. The notary administers an oath or affirmation and witnesses the signature.
• Why this matters: Mixing certificate types is a common cause of rejection. If your easement packet was prepared out of state, we can add a compliant loose certificate when appropriate.
