Bedside Notary Services in Greenville County

When a loved one is hospitalized or residing in a care facility, important legal documents often need to be signed urgently. A power of attorney, advance healthcare directive, or financial authorization cannot always wait until the patient is discharged. S. Clark Notary provides compassionate, professional bedside notary services at hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and rehabilitation centers throughout Greenville County and Upstate SC.

Susan Clark has extensive experience working in healthcare settings and understands the unique challenges they present. She works patiently with patients, coordinates with family members and facility staff, and ensures the notarization process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Under South Carolina notary law, the signer must be conscious, willing, and aware of the nature of the document being signed. Susan carefully assesses this requirement at every bedside appointment and will not proceed if the signer does not meet these criteria — this is both a legal obligation and an ethical commitment.

Compassionate, Patient Service

Hospital and nursing home notarizations are often emotionally charged situations. A patient may be recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or in the final stages of life. Susan approaches every bedside appointment with sensitivity and patience, allowing ample time for the signer to read and understand the documents. She never rushes a hospital appointment and will work with nursing staff to schedule at a time that is most comfortable for the patient.

If a patient is unable to physically sign a document due to injury or disability, South Carolina law provides alternatives such as signature by mark. Susan is familiar with these procedures and can guide you through the options available under SC law.
