Our guest, Angie Boynton of Happy at Law, explains how remote online notary services can help cruisers sign and notarize documents from virtually anywhere, along with the technology and preparation needed to make the process smooth. We also discuss Powers of Attorney, including the different types, when they may be helpful, and how they can allow trusted individuals to handle financial, legal, healthcare, or other matters while you’re underway. Whether you’re planning your Great Loop adventure or already cruising, this episode offers practical tips to help you stay prepared and connected while managing life from afar.
