Hickory Hills, Palos Hills and Worth share a strip of the southwest suburbs between Harlem Avenue and the forest preserves. Hickory Hills runs along 95th Street and Roberts Road, Palos Hills climbs toward Moraine Valley Community College and the woods, and Worth sits lower along 111th Street and the Cal-Sag. All three are close enough to Oak Lawn that I treat them as part of my core service area, along with neighboring Palos Heights.
The housing here leans toward condos, townhomes and mid-century ranches, with a lot of longtime owners who bought decades ago. That means many of my calls come from older residents downsizing or updating their paperwork, and from their adult children who live farther away. A notary in Hickory Hills, IL who comes to the condo saves an 85-year-old the trip down three flights of stairs. My power of attorney notary page covers the most common request.
Moraine Valley brings a younger crowd too: students who need a form notarized for a transcript, financial aid or an out-of-country application. A home visit here starts at $125 ($120 travel and service plus the $5 notary fee). Nursing homes, campus offices and other commercial buildings start at $150 ($145 plus $5).
Places I'm called to in Hickory Hills
- Moraine Valley Community CollegeThe large Palos Hills campus on College Parkway. I can meet students or staff at home or at a public spot nearby that works for a quiet signing.
- Hickory Nursing PavilionNursing care in Hickory Hills. I check with the family about ID and the resident's understanding before I come.
- Worth Metra stationOn Metra's SouthWest Service line. Commuters often book me for the evening after their train.
Notary visits for condo owners who are downsizing
A lot of the Palos Hills and Hickory Hills condo buildings were built in the 1970s and 1980s, and some of the original owners are still there. When it's time to sell, move to assisted living or hand bill-paying to a son or daughter, there are documents to sign. I come to the unit, sit at the dining table and go at the signer's pace.
If the paperwork is for a sale, your attorney or title company prepares it and tells you what needs a notary. I handle the real estate deed notarization and give everyone an itemized receipt. I don't advise on the sale itself.
Condo visits here are usually simple to arrange. Tell me the building and unit, whether there's a buzzer, and where visitors can park. If the signing is urgent, my same-day mobile notary service often gets me there within a few hours, the same way I cover nearby Chicago Ridge.

Where can I find a notary near me in Worth in the evening?
I'm a mobile notary available 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, and Worth is about 15 minutes from my base. I come to your home, so you don't need to find a counter that's still open.
Can my daughter sign for me if I'm not feeling well?
Not on your behalf. The person named as the signer has to sign in front of me with their own ID. If you want your daughter to handle things for you, that's what a power of attorney is for, and you'd sign that yourself.
