TECHNOLOGY

Virtual services do require some technology, but nothing too drastic. Below are a few FAQs to help you understand how things work.

What technology do I need for virtual services?

For 100% virtual services, you will need a computer, tablet or smartphone with a camera and file sharing capabilities. Each document signer (husband, wife, etc.) will need a separate email address. A free email service such as Gmail or Yahoo will work just fine.

What privacy technology does Crain & Wooley use?

Crain & Wooley is dedicated to protecting your privacy. All video consultations and email communications take place via an internal, two-factor authentication protocol, and our document sharing portal is FINRA, SEC and GLBA compliant.

What document execution options do I have?

As long as you have a computer with video, email and file sharing capabilities, you will be able to complete document signing from your home. Or we can arrange for a mobile notary to come to your home to sign documents in person. Please note, mobile notary does require an additional $100 fee.

Why would I choose to work with Crain & Wooley instead of an attorney in my town?

Clients from across Texas choose Crain & Wooley due to our professionalism, subject matter authority, approachability, flat rate pricing, customer service promises and comprehensive planning approach.

Can Crain & Wooley notarize my documents virtually?

Yes! Virtual notary has been an accepted practice in Texas since 2018. Crain & Wooley can notarize your estate planning documents as well as other documents via our video conferencing software.
