San Leandro service
When the signer cannot travel, the notary can
SoHay Notary, based in Hayward, schedules appointments in San Leandro at homes, hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, assisted living communities, and other care facilities, as well as at workplaces, escrow offices, and public meeting locations. When a signer or a family member cannot get to a notary, the notary comes to the signer.
Documents notarized in these settings include medical and financial powers of attorney, advance healthcare directives, and any other signature the person wishes to have notarized. The notary completes the requested act. Choosing the document, and deciding whether it suits the situation, is a matter for the signer and whoever prepared it.
Before any signature is notarized, three things have to be true. The signer is physically in front of the notary, can communicate directly with the notary, and shows a willingness to sign. A relative can help set up the visit, but the exchange that counts is between the notary and the signer. Our hospital and care facility notary page covers these appointments in more depth.
Planning
Planning a San Leandro visit
A little preparation makes a facility visit easier for everyone involved.
- Where the signer is
- Tell us the kind of facility, or whether the signing will happen at a private home in San Leandro, so we can plan the visit.
- Reaching the signer
- Ask the facility how visitors check in and where the signer's room is. Facilities set their own rules, so settle access before the day.
- Who is signing
- One signer or several. Everyone who signs must be present and show acceptable identification.
- Witnesses
- Whether the document needs witnesses is up to its preparer or attorney. If it does, tell us so we can quote the coordination in advance.
- Identification
- Send the exact ID type ahead. If you are unsure it is accepted under California law, ask before the visit.
- Timing
- Appointments run Sunday through Saturday, 11 AM to 8 PM. Call or text to learn what is open.

What the notary does at a bedside appointment
The notary completes the requested notarial act. The notary does not give legal advice, does not explain what a document means, and does not choose the document or the act. SoHay Notary is not a law firm.
Questions about whether a document suits the signer's situation belong with the attorney or professional who prepared it. We will gladly point a question back to the right person rather than guess at an answer.
