When the Grantor is a Trust, LLC, or Corporation, the signer must show both identity and authority to sign for that entity.

• Trusts: A recent Trustee Certificate or Certification of Trust naming the acting trustee(s).
• LLC/Corporation: An Operating Agreement or Corporate Resolution that gives the manager, member, or officer power to sign the easement.
• Document match: The title printed near the signature line should match the capacity shown in your paperwork, for example “Jane Doe, Trustee.”
• Recording readiness: We complete a Nevada acknowledgment that reflects the signer’s capacity so the Recorder can index the instrument correctly.

We handle trustee, manager, or officer signings across Anthem, Spring Valley, Henderson, and Boulder City. See Trusts and Estate Documents and Power of Attorney.

An encroachment release is used when a structure such as a fence, wall, shed, or landscaping sits inside a recorded easement corridor. The release acknowledges the condition and preserves the utility’s right to access the area in the future.

• What it covers: Identifies the encroaching improvement, sets access terms, and clarifies who pays to move or replace the item if maintenance requires removal.
• Why it is notarized: The release affects property rights and is recorded with the county. A proper acknowledgment allows the Recorder to accept and index it.
• Who signs: The owner of record or authorized representative. A utility, HOA, or developer may countersign depending on the form.
• Practical tip: Attach a clear exhibit map that matches the legal description to prevent rejection.

We notarize encroachment releases across Downtown Las Vegas, Downtown Summerlin, Summerlin South, and Henderson. See Affidavits and Sworn Statements, Real Estate Closing Notarization, and Notary with Witnesses Provided.

No, I-9 is required only for employees—independent contractors are not subject to I-9 verification because they are not considered employees under federal immigration law. The business relationship with an independent contractor is governed by contract terms, not employment law, meaning the contractor maintains control over how work is performed, provides their own tools and equipment, sets their own schedule, works for multiple clients, and bears the financial risk of the engagement. However, misclassifying employees as contractors to avoid I-9 creates major liability because ICE, the Department of Labor, IRS, and state agencies scrutinize worker classification, and intentional misclassification to evade employment eligibility verification constitutes a serious violation potentially resulting in back taxes, penalties, criminal prosecution, and fines far exceeding standard I-9 violations.

Recent enforcement focuses heavily on gig economy worker classification, with federal and state regulators targeting rideshare companies, delivery services, staffing platforms, construction subcontractors, and healthcare agencies that misclassify employees as independent contractors. The test for worker classification examines multiple factors: degree of control over work performance (employer-controlled = employee), integration into business operations (integral role = employee), opportunity for profit or loss (fixed pay = employee), investment in equipment and facilities (employer-provided = employee), permanency of relationship (ongoing = employee), and skill/initiative required (routine tasks = employee). Companies that systematically misclassify workers face joint employer liability where both the company and the misclassified "contractor" arrangement can trigger penalties, while individual cases of good-faith misclassification still require I-9 correction once employee status is established.

Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides I-9 verification services for properly classified employees throughout Henderson, Las Vegas, and Clark County, ensuring compliant employment eligibility verification for your workforce. We also help businesses transitioning contractors to employee status by completing I-9 verification within the required 3-day window from the first day of employment. For companies using both employees and legitimate independent contractors, our mobile notaries can verify which workers require I-9 completion based on the business relationship structure, reducing the risk of inadvertent classification errors. This service is especially valuable for construction firms, healthcare providers, and professional services companies in Rancho Bel Air and surrounding areas that maintain mixed workforces of employees and genuine independent contractors.
