For notaries, every document is an opportunity to reinforce accuracy, professionalism, and trust. For homeowners, understanding what you’re signing is an important part of protecting your investment and moving confidently toward homeownership.

An Occupancy Affidavit is commonly found in residential mortgage loan packages, including purchases and refinances when the lender needs to verify the borrower’s intended occupancy. It may also be called an Owner-Occupancy Affidavit, Occupancy Certification, or Primary Residence Affidavit, depending on the lender and document.

📌 Why does it matter? Lenders use this document to confirm whether a property will be occupied as the borrower’s principal residence, which can affect loan eligibility, underwriting, and applicable loan terms. The borrower should review the statements carefully and ensure they are truthful before signing.

✍🏽 Does it require notarization? If the document includes a notarial certificate or the lender’s instructions require notarization, the notary must complete the appropriate notarial act in accordance with applicable state law. Not every occupancy certification requires notarization, so always review the document and signing instructions rather than making assumptions.

🔎 Notary reminder: Your role is to verify identity, follow your state’s notarial requirements, complete the certificate accurately, and avoid interpreting loan terms or advising signers on the legal effect of the document. When questions arise about the loan or occupancy requirements, direct the signer to the lender or closing professional.

🏠 For homeowners: A signature is more than a formality. Take time to understand your loan documents, ask questions when something is unclear, and make informed decisions as you work toward your homeownership goals.

Stay informed. Stay diligent. Keep raising the standard of your notarial practice.

Today, Graham Family Signing Service recognizes Indigenous Peoples’ Day by honoring the histories, cultures, contributions, and enduring resilience of Indigenous peoples and communities. We acknowledge the importance of preserving Indigenous languages, traditions, knowledge, and sovereignty while recognizing that Indigenous communities continue to shape our shared future.

Did you know? The United Nations proclaimed 2022–2032 the International Decade of Indigenous Languages to draw attention to the urgent need to preserve, revitalize, and promote Indigenous languages around the world. Language is more than communication—it carries history, identity, cultural knowledge, and generations of wisdom.

As we reflect on this day, may we continue to approach one another with respect, recognize the importance of representation, and support efforts that protect cultural heritage and advance equity. Graham Family Signing Service is open for business today and remains available to assist our clients and professional partners with their signing service needs.

What an incredible experience at the inaugural Connecticut Conference for Notaries! 💛🖤 I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect with fellow notaries, exchange ideas, and share another dimension of what we can accomplish beyond the notarial stamp. While I had the pleasure of meeting a few of you, I certainly wish I could've connected with more! I'm looking forward to hearing about your journeys, whether you're exploring wedding officiating for the first time, expanding your existing services, or preparing to take your officiant business to the next level. Let's keep the conversations and connections going!

A special thank you to Pertrice for collaborating with me on our conversation, "Anyone Can Read a Script: Not Everyone Can Lead a Ceremony." 🎤 We had the opportunity to discuss what it really takes to go beyond simply performing a wedding ceremony and create an experience that couples will remember for years to come.

From professionalism and preparation to confidence and commanding the room, there's so much more to this work than saying, "You may now kiss!" 😂 Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and contributed to the conversation. I hope our paths cross again soon, whether at another conference, a networking event, or even a wedding!

Today, we’re taking the conversation beyond the stamp. We’re excited to be speaking at the Inaugural Connecticut Conference for Notaries, connecting with notaries and entrepreneurs who are looking to expand their knowledge, sharpen their business skills, and discover new opportunities.

We’ll be speaking on a session on wedding officiating, diving into ceremony structure, client communication, personalization, professionalism, and what it takes to create a meaningful experience for couples.

This is bigger than adding another service to your business. It’s about recognizing the skills you already have, learning how they can translate into new opportunities, and understanding the value of building a business that can grow with you. If you’re at the conference today, introduce yourself, and let’s connect. Let’s learn, exchange ideas, and keep building.

Whether you’re spending today with family, enjoying a long weekend, or simply taking a well-earned break, we hope you have a safe and meaningful Labor Day.

At Graham Family Support Services, we recognize that every family is strengthened by someone who shows up each day—parents, caregivers, educators, mentors, healthcare professionals, and countless others whose dedication often goes unnoticed. Your work creates opportunities, stability, and hope for future generations.

Fun Fact: Labor Day is often called the unofficial end of summer because it traditionally marks the transition into a new school year, fall community programs, and a fresh season of learning and growth across the country.

Thank you to everyone who pours their time and energy into making a positive impact in the lives of others. Wishing you a wonderful Labor Day!

Imagine these three journal entries after notarizing the exact same document:

❌ Poor:
“John Smith – Signature.”
If your notarization is ever questioned, this entry leaves more questions than answers. There’s little to establish what occurred or demonstrate that you followed proper procedures.

✔️ Decent:
“John Smith – Power of Attorney – Driver’s License presented – Signature obtained.”
Much better. It identifies the document and the identification used, creating a clearer record of the appointment.

⭐ Great:
“John Smith – Power of Attorney – Acknowledgement – New Jersey Driver’s License verified (last four digits recorded if permitted by state law), signer appeared personally, signature obtained, date, time, location, fee collected, and any additional notes permitted by state law.”
Now you’ve created a detailed, organized record that helps demonstrate the notarization was performed properly. If questions arise months—or even years—later, you’ll have meaningful documentation to refresh your recollection and support your professional practices.

A journal won’t prevent every dispute, but maintaining thorough, accurate records can be invaluable if your work is ever scrutinized. Just remember: journal requirements vary by state, so always follow your state’s notary laws regarding what information may or must be recorded.

What is one thing you’ve added to your journal entries that has made your recordkeeping stronger? Share it below and help another notary improve their process.

August is National Make-A-Will Month and if this is the sign you’ve been waiting on — consider this it. 💙 We don’t always like to think about it, but the reality is that having a will in place is one of the most loving things you can do for the people you’d leave behind. It removes the guesswork. It protects your wishes. And it makes an already difficult season a little more manageable for your family when the time comes.

Here are two things worth knowing. First — a notarized will carries significantly more legal weight in most states. It can actually become self-proving, which means your loved ones may not have to go through the additional step of locating witnesses during the probate process. That alone can save your family time, money, and emotional energy. Second — without a will, the state decides what happens to your assets. Not you. Not your family. The state. And that decision may not reflect your wishes at all.

Graham Family Signing Service helps individuals get their will notarized nationwide — wherever you are, we can help make it official. 📝 And one important note: we do not prepare or draft will documents. We strongly encourage you to work with a licensed estate planning attorney for that step. Once your document is ready, that’s exactly where we come in. If you or someone you love has been putting this off, now is the time. 🤝🏾
