Prestige Introduces New Estate Planning Signing Support Service

NEW YORK, NY, October 16, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Prestige, a company that specializes in notarial services, has introduced a new estate planning signing support service. This service aims to streamline the process for estate planning firms by handling the preparation and delivery of document packages, including binders and tabs, to signatories.

The service was developed in response to the administrative workload faced by estate planning firms. Jennifer Garland, the founder and CEO of Prestige, explained that the idea originated from a client who was assembling tabbed trust binders internally and incurring shipping costs. Prestige took over the responsibility of ordering binders and tabs, printing the documents, organizing and sealing the materials, and arranging for a notary to bring the completed package to the signer. This shift has allowed the estate planning firm to focus on its core business while reducing its administrative burden.

Garland, who has extensive experience in the mortgage industry, founded Prestige in 2015. Her background exposed the need for streamlined processes and vetted notaries, leading to the establishment of Prestige Notaries. Today, the company serves banks, corporations, and law firms, with a database of over 260,000 notaries across all 50 states. The service offered to estate planning firms is an extension of Prestige's existing signing support, which already includes notarial coordination.

The new offering combines Prestige's existing signing coordination with a defined document preparation workflow. It covers the binders, tabs, printed materials, organization, sealing, and delivery of the signing materials. This service places these tasks within the assignment handled by Prestige and its field professionals, rather than retaining binder assembly as an internal responsibility of the estate planning firm.

Prestige's approach to service delivery is characterized by a strong emphasis on the independence of notaries and field agents. These professionals are described as small business owners who remain independent, with support from Prestige including clear expectations, access to resources, and ongoing communication with the service team. The company maintains a foundational set of standard operating procedures across industries and clients, with training addressing these standards and their application. Ongoing conversations with the service team inform procedural changes when necessary.

Notarial law varies by state, and Prestige has built a library of state-by-state guides for its team. These guides provide a reference for jurisdiction-specific requirements, ensuring that team members can handle assignments involving professionals in different states with ease. The company's assignment history includes requests requiring substantial travel coordination, such as arranging for a notary and field agent to travel by float plane to a remote Alaskan island to obtain a signature. These assignments illustrate the range of logistical requirements handled alongside document preparation and professional placement.

The introduction of this new service is part of Prestige's ongoing efforts to support its clients in providing efficient and reliable notarial services. By taking on the physical preparation and delivery of signing materials, Prestige aims to reduce the administrative burden on estate planning firms, allowing them to focus on their core business.
