is that it is not permitted for powers of attorney or other estate planning documents. However, under the new power of attorney statute, RCW 11.125.050(1), you have the option of using two witnesses in place of a notary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Greetings Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Being able to meet clients to notarize Powers of Attorney or deeds is now a significant challenge. Are any of you remote notaries? Or have you worked with a remote notary that you trust?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I am very interested in learning how to use this service!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thank you for any information/experience you can share!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>~Kerry Brink<o:p></o:p></p>
