Short answer: in Clark County, the land documents most likely to require notarization are deeds, the Declaration of Homestead, many easement or right of way grants, and sworn supporting affidavits used for recording or title cleanup. Notarization confirms identity and willingness through an acknowledgment, or administers an oath for a jurat when the document is a sworn statement. After notarization, most land documents must be recorded with the Clark County Recorder to be enforceable against third parties. Lake Mead Mobile Notary prepares homeowners, trustees, and authorized agents for clean, recordable documents by verifying names and capacity, choosing the correct Nevada certificate, and keeping margins and venue details compliant. We meet at homes, community clubhouses, and offices across the valley and coordinate spouse or co owner signings. If an authorized representative is signing, we notarize the power of attorney as well. Use this guide to understand which land documents need a notary in Las Vegas and how to avoid common rejections.

Jurat vs Acknowledgment: Choose the Right Nevada Certificate
Acknowledgment
Used for deeds, easement grants, and homestead declarations. The notary confirms identity and voluntary execution. The signer may have already signed or may sign in front of the notary.
Jurat
Used for sworn statements like owner affidavits. The signer appears, takes an oath or affirmation, and signs in the notary’s presence.
Why it matters
Using the wrong certificate is a common reason for rejection. We attach Nevada compliant loose certificates when the preprinted wording does not fit.
Who Signs: Owners, Trustees, LLC Managers, and Agents
Individual owners and spouses
Names must match title and ID. Spouses on title usually sign the same deed or homestead form with acknowledgments.
Living trusts and estates
The trustee signs in title capacity, presenting a Certificate of Trust if requested. See Trusts and Estate Documents.
LLCs, corporations, and POA agents
The authorized manager or officer signs with capacity evidence. A properly executed Power of Attorney may be used when the titled owner cannot appear.
Witnesses when requested
Some title companies or out of state forms ask for witnesses. We coordinate neutrals. See Notary with Witnesses Provided.
