Call first about base access
Nellis Air Force Base has its own access rules, and a civilian notary can't simply drive on. If you live on base, call or text Patricia at (702) 690-9757 before booking so you can work out whether access can be arranged or whether it's easier to meet off base. Many military families live in North Las Vegas and nearby neighborhoods, and she can come to those homes directly.
Paperwork that comes with military life
The documents Nellis families ask about most:
- General or special powers of attorney so a spouse or relative can handle finances, a vehicle, or a lease while the service member is away.
- Consent forms so a caregiver can act for children during a deployment.
- Affidavits and sworn statements for housing, insurance or family matters.
- Deeds and other forms when you sell or transfer a home during a PCS move.
- Wills, trusts and healthcare directives prepared by your attorney.
Timing matters
Powers of attorney are easiest to sign before someone leaves. If orders came quickly, call or text and tell Patricia your timeline. She can't promise a slot, but she'll tell you honestly what she has open.
Every signer needs a current government-issued photo ID. A military ID is a government-issued photo ID; ask Patricia if you're unsure about yours. Documents must be complete and unsigned.
Who drafts the document
Patricia doesn't draft documents or give legal advice. Your attorney, or the legal office that serves your unit, prepares powers of attorney and similar papers. Patricia notarizes them once they're ready. See estate planning documents for more on POAs and directives.
She also covers North Las Vegas, Sunrise Manor and Las Vegas.

Questions people ask
Can you come onto Nellis?
Base access rules apply, so call first at (702) 690-9757. If access can't be arranged, she can meet you at an off-base location.
My spouse is already deployed. Can I still get a power of attorney?
The person giving the power must sign it in front of a notary. Ask your attorney or legal office about options for a service member who is away.
What does it cost?
Notary fees are set by Nevada law, and any travel fee is agreed before she heads out. See fees.
