Can the signer sign their own name?
Find out if the signer can sign their own name before going to the signing. Family members will always assure you that they can sign. But, medical situations change quickly, and once the notary arrives,
the signer is often drugged or incapable of speaking coherently or signing anything. Have the family members make the signer sign something before you book the appointment. When the client calls
you and you ask them to sample the elderly person's signature, the elderly person will always be sleeping, so they can't test their signing skills, but you will be assured that after you drive two hours
to the signing, that the person will be able to sign properly.
