Beverly and Mount Greenwood are Chicago neighborhoods, but they feel like close neighbors of Oak Lawn and Evergreen Park, and they're among my quickest city trips. Beverly has big old houses on the ridge along Longwood Drive, Morgan Park blends in to the south, and Mount Greenwood is a tight grid of bungalows and raised ranches along 111th Street, home to many city workers, police officers and firefighters.
That mix brings steady work for a mobile notary in Beverly and Mount Greenwood. Families in big Beverly homes call about trusts, deeds and estate paperwork. Retirees in Mount Greenwood call about pensions, vehicle titles and powers of attorney. Senior communities like Smith Village and Mercy Circle mean residents and their families need signings at the apartment rather than at an office. My power of attorney notary page covers what to prepare.
Several large cemeteries sit on the edges of Mount Greenwood, including Mount Olivet, Mount Greenwood and Mount Hope, so funeral and estate paperwork is common. A home visit here starts at $125 ($120 travel and service plus $5 notarization). Senior living, offices and funeral homes start at $150 ($145 plus $5).

Estate and trust signings in Beverly homes
Many Beverly families have owned their homes for decades, and estate planning often means a trust, a deed into the trust and new powers of attorney, all signed at once. Your attorney prepares those documents and usually tells you which pages need a notary. I come to the house, notarize each signature, and keep everything in order so nothing gets skipped.
If your attorney's office is downtown and you'd rather not make the trip, that's exactly what a mobile notary is for. Ask them to send the documents to you, then call me. I don't supply witnesses, so if your will or trust requires them, have two adults ready who aren't named in the documents.
