Questions I get every week
What do I need to bring?
The document, unsigned, and a valid photo ID that hasn't expired: driver's license, state ID, or passport. If the paper calls for witnesses, have them there with their IDs too.
How does a mobile visit work?
Call or text where you are and what you're signing. I confirm a time, drive to you in Houma, check IDs, watch the signature, then stamp and log it. Most visits take about fifteen minutes.
Can you come today?
Often, yes , including evenings. Same-day depends on what's already booked, so call rather than wait. If I can't make it work, I'll say so on the phone.
Why does Louisiana use different words?
Louisiana follows Civil Law, not the Common Law system used by every other state. So a will is a Testament, a power of attorney is a Mandate, and the rules that govern them come from the Civil Code. The document still does the same job, just under Louisiana's own legal framework.
