• Do real estate documents need to be notarized in Massachusetts?−

  Yes for any document that will be recorded at a Massachusetts Registry of Deeds – including deeds, mortgages, mortgage discharges, releases, easements, and trustee certificates. Massachusetts Registries require a notary public’s acknowledgment with seal and commission expiration before they will accept a document for recording. Loan documents that won’t be recorded (such as the promissory note) generally still require notarization for the lender’s file.

• Can a notary run a Massachusetts real estate closing?+

  No. Massachusetts is an attorney closing state – every real estate closing must be conducted by a licensed Massachusetts attorney. Our role is to support the closing attorney by notarizing signatures, witnessing documents when required, and serving as a mobile signing agent for borrowers who can’t attend the attorney’s office. We do not preside over closings, prepare closing documents, or give legal advice on the transaction.

• Are you a certified loan signing agent?+

  Yes. Hanson Webb is an NNA-certified Notary Signing Agent (NSA), background-screened, and continuously commissioned in Massachusetts since 2007. We are regularly retained by closing attorneys, title companies, and national signing services to handle mortgage closings, refinances, HELOCs, reverse mortgages, and equity loans.

• How much does a real estate signing cost?+

  In-office single-document notarization (a single deed, discharge, or affidavit) starts at $45 in our Tewksbury location. Mobile loan signings – full mortgage closing packets, refinances, or HELOCs delivered to the borrower’s home or office – typically run $150 to $250 depending on packet size, distance, and time of day. We provide a firm written quote before scheduling and bill closing attorneys, title companies, or signing services directly.

• Can you handle a refinance signing at the borrower’s home?+

  Yes. Refinances, HELOCs, and reverse mortgages are routinely handled at the borrower’s home, office, or a neutral location of their choice – including evenings and weekends with confirmed booking. We coordinate directly with the title company or closing attorney to make sure every signature, initial, and notarial seal is correct on the first pass and that documents are returned within the required closing-disclosure window.

• Do you serve Massachusetts Registries of Deeds across the state?+

  Yes. Our notarizations are accepted at every Massachusetts Registry of Deeds, including Middlesex North (Lowell), Middlesex South (Cambridge), Suffolk (Boston), Essex North (Lawrence), Essex South (Salem), Worcester (Worcester), Worcester North (Fitchburg), Norfolk (Dedham), Plymouth, and Bristol, among others.

• Can you provide witnesses for a deed or mortgage?+

  Most Massachusetts real-estate documents do not require additional witnesses beyond the notary, but some lenders, title companies, or out-of-state institutions require one or two witnesses. We can typically provide one staff witness on request; the signer is responsible for arranging a second witness if required.

• Can a real estate document be remote online notarized?+

  Massachusetts permits remote online notarization for many documents, but most Massachusetts Registries of Deeds still require wet-ink signatures and physical notary seals on recordable instruments. We strongly recommend in-person notarization (in-office or mobile) for any document that will be recorded – including deeds, mortgages, and discharges – to avoid rejection at the registry counter.

• Can you handle a closing if the buyer or seller is overseas or in the hospital?+

  Yes. Hospital and bedside notarizations are routine – provided the signer is cognizant. For overseas sellers or buyers, the closing typically requires a properly executed Power of Attorney (notarized and apostilled in the foreign country, accepted by the closing attorney), with the agent appearing in person on closing day. We can notarize the agent’s signature alongside our regular real-estate documents.

• Do you bill closing attorneys and title companies directly?+

  Yes. Massachusetts real estate attorneys, title companies, lenders, and national signing services are welcome to book on behalf of borrowers. We invoice the firm directly, deliver scanned PDFs the same day, and coordinate physical document return through FedEx or UPS overnight. Preferred-vendor pricing available for high-volume practices.
