You decide. We prepare.
Legal Documents + Mobile Notary
If you already know which document you want, The Signed Rose prepares it from your answers and keeps everything in one organized place.
What this is, and what it isn't
If you already know what you need
These are the documents our preparation service currently supports. Choosing one is your decision — we prepare what you ask for, nothing more.
If you've decided you need a residential lease, we prepare it from your answers, in language you can actually read.
Have on hand
- The property address
- Lease start and end dates
- Monthly rent and security deposit amounts
- Full legal names of the landlord and each tenant
- Any arrangements you want written in — pets, parking, utilities
If you've decided you need a will, we prepare it through guided questions, with clear signing instructions.
Have on hand
- Who you're leaving things to — full legal names
- Who you want to carry out your wishes
- Who you'd want to care for minor children, if any
- Who will witness your signing
If you've decided you need a power of attorney, we prepare it from your answers, with the scope written out plainly.
Have on hand
- The full legal name of the person you're naming
- Which decisions you want them to handle
- When you want their authority to begin
- Who will witness or notarize the signing
Record-clearing paperwork is prepared through our attorney-supported clinics, where a participating attorney decides the right pathway. See how clinics work.
What to have ready
The guided questions ask about facts — names, dates, places, amounts. Having those on hand before you begin makes it faster. A few apply to every document:
- Full legal names, exactly as they appear on government-issued ID
- Key dates — birth dates, and any dates that matter to your situation
- Current addresses for everyone you name
- Government-issued photo ID on hand if the signing gets notarized
The checklists under each document above describe the information our questions ask about — they're not advice about whether a document is right for you.
How it will work
- 1You start with the document you've already decided on.
- 2We show you what information to have on hand before you begin.
- 3Answer guided questions — only the ones that apply to you.
- 4Review your answers and fix anything.
- 5Your document is prepared and saved to your private library.
- 6We lay out the signing steps that apply, and offer notary service when it's part of the workflow.
Mobile notary
When a document you prepare here reaches signing and notarization is part of its workflow, you can request a mobile notary from your account. We don't offer a standalone appointment for an outside document, and we don't decide for you whether a document legally requires notarization.
What you'll see before you pay
- Acknowledgment: up to $15 for each signature, shown as the statutory notarial fee.
- Jurat: up to $15 per person, shown as the statutory notarial fee.
- Any lawful business or service fee, listed separately.
- Travel or mobile charges, listed separately.
These are California statutory maximums. A notary may charge less or no statutory fee. Mobile, service, and travel charges are separate and are never labeled as the statutory fee.
How an appointment happens
- 1Your document reaches the stage where notarization applies.
- 2You review the charges and pay.
- 3Your paid request goes to our approved notary job board.
- 4An approved notary accepts and your appointment is scheduled.
- 5The notarial act is performed and your record is completed.
Only appropriately authorized and commissioned notaries perform notarial acts.
