Estate planning attorneys need a notary partner who understands true urgency when hospice is involved. Today, an attorney client reached out regarding a signer on his deathbed, and we treated the request with the priority and respect it deserved.

Our client mentioned we could schedule for today or tomorrow, but I insisted on getting it done immediately.

I have had a signer pass away before we could execute their documents because their family member who was coordinating did not act with urgency.

Though it wasn't my fault, that loss weighed heavily on me.

When someone is in hospice, tomorrow is never guaranteed.

We received the documents, updated the dates and notary blocks, printed, and coordinated our top trusted witnesses.

Notarizing documents for a patient in hospice requires patience and empathy.

I couldn’t do this exceptional work alone, and am incredibly grateful for Angela Daniels Millenbaugh and LaDerek McGill for always being there when we need them the most.

Angela’s soft southern voice immediately put the room at ease, leading the signer to share stories of playing guitar in his high school band.

LaDerek efficiently set up our equipment and ensured every witness block was completed without a single error.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Because of our team, our client kept running their law firm without having to pull staff or disrupt their work day.

We executed the documents flawlessly, provided scan backs the same day, and gave everyone involved complete peace of mind.

Every estate planning firm needs a dependable, compassionate notary partner on speed dial for high-urgency signings.

Contact us today to see how easily we integrate with your estate planning law practice.

Stop asking “How do I grow the business?” and start asking “Who do I need to become to sustain it?”

If your business hits a ceiling, don't blame the market or the tools.

A company can only grow as far as its leader, and the real ceiling is almost always your own limits in decision-making, delegation, and emotional maturity.

Here are 4 internal shifts I’m actively practicing to bust through any ceiling brave enough to get in my way.

💗 Radical Acceptance

Everything is working in my favor. There are no true failures, only data points, opportunities, and valuable lessons.

When something goes sideways, instead of panicking, I look for the insight.

💗 Nervous System Regulation

Operating out of constant anxiety, anger, or stress doesn't just create physical inflammation, it keeps your nervous system locked in fight-or-flight.

Regulating my nervous system has been crucial.

You can't make clear, strategic decisions when your nervous system is convinced you're under attack.

Breathwork and somatic grounding have been pivotal in helping me pause rather than react emotionally.

Before I take action on a high-stress problem, I take a step back, breathe, and bring myself back to baseline.

💗 Setting Boundaries and Overcoming People-Pleasing

This one has been tough as hell!

As a millennial, we were spoon fed the “American Dream,” only to realize…

“It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.” - George Carlin

We were hard wired to people please, but the reality is you will never please everyone.

You might as well honor your high-standards and align with your own vision.

💗 Dismantling Scarcity & Limiting Beliefs

Coming from a scarcity background, I used to struggle to receive.

I’m actively training my brain to gracefully accept compliments, high-value opportunities, and support without feeling the immediate, anxious urge to apologize or "pay it back."

To build a bigger business, you have to become a bigger person.

What internal shift has made the biggest impact on your external work recently?

I had an exceptional day exhibiting at the Modern Solo/Small Firm Conference, hosted by Lawyers Mutual Liability Insurance Company of N.C.! Huge thanks to Camille Stell and her team for organizing such a valuable event. 👏

I'm ​honored to hit a major business milestone by hosting our very first booth for Fillion Notary & Apostille Services! 🖊✨

​To everyone who entered our giveaway for the AI Voice Recorder, we'll announce the winner here on Monday, September 21! 🎁

All of the keynote speakers were amazing! I was especially keen on Jeffrey L. Bloomfield's insights on business growth and Tom Lenfestey ’s expertise on selling a practice.

I walked away with a much deeper understanding of our ideal clients: driven solo and small firm attorneys who are scaling through delegation or expanding beyond their local region. 📈⚖️

​Grateful for the warm welcome from the NC legal community! Looking forward to building on these new relationships, including Kerri Hassan at Grace and Faye Consulting LLC.

She's our go-to resource for all things legal recruiting!

If you want something done right, do it yourself. Even if that means a 3 hour round-trip to Lake Gaston on a Saturday morning to execute a full trust estate plan.

When Fillion Notary & Apostille Services began coordinating estate planning and real estate signings across all 100 North Carolina counties back in January, we knew it wouldn't be smooth sailing.

Nothing worth building ever is.

The reality of the notary industry? There is a massive gap in specialized expertise once you move beyond basic general notary work.

In rural areas, that gap is even wider.

​When there wasn't a local notary in the surrounding area who met our high standards, the choice was simple.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.

That’s why our clients trust us.

They know we don't just dispatch an order and cross our fingers.

​...We get it done, and we get it done right.

To the Estate Planning & Real Estate Attorneys expanding outside of their region, if you need flawless signing ex*****on and reliable coordination anywhere in North Carolina, let’s connect.

To the notaries who take pride in their service, want to elevate their expertise beyond basic notary work, and are looking for signing opportunities, we want to hear from you.

Send a direct message or give us a call to learn more about partnering with us!

I'm popping up for air to #1 tell you I still exist 😅 and #2 inform you that, holy cow! the power of networking is unreal.

When Fillion Notary & Apostille Services was founded in 2023, I knew no one.

We moved from Michigan on a whim for hopes of better weather & opportunities ☀️

I claimed my google business profile and barely got any calls.

I knew I wasn't going to make it without connecting with community.

was my first networking event.

I hadn't socialized in awhile and was a mom with two young kids and no friends 😭😭😭

It felt easy yapping with a mixed drink about my new notary obsessions.

Got introduced to BNI and just ran through every networking event in the Triangle for 2 years.

🤜 5 events a week
🤜 3 - 5 one to one's a week

Added them all to social media, HEY! 🎉🎉🎉
..and I cannot believe how much love and positive energy I have received over the years.

The power of networking is unreal...

💥 So much so, that we are breaking revenue goals every single month 💥

On average, we've more than doubled our monthly numbers across the board compared to 2025 📈📈

So YES, we still exist, we're super busy, and thank you for all the support!! 💗

I am honored to be featured in this month’s Lawyers Mutual Liability Insurance Company of N.C.’s newsletter, published by the wonderful Camille Stell, Vice President 😍

"The Notary's Crucial Role in Legal Practices: Protect Your Firm from Avoidable Risk," is officially live and I am incredibly excited for the opportunity to share insights on the top 5 avoidable risks observed while working closely with attorneys across various practice areas.

💥 Skipping ID Verification
💥 Accepting Temporary IDs
💥 Incomplete Notary Block
💥 Failure to Notarize in Signer’s Presence
💥 Skipping the Oath / Affirmation on Jurats

In the high-velocity pace of the legal industry, substantive legal work can easily overshadow the tedious administrative steps of a notarization.

Furthermore, most attorneys rely on self-study of the notary laws as they are not required to take the mandatory notary class.

This is exactly why the support from Camille and Lawyers Mutual is so vital.

They serve as a dedicated partner to the legal community, offering complimentary consultations to ensure your firm is insured and protected at every stage of your legal practice journey.

I highly recommend connecting with her, subscribing to the newsletter, and checking out her book “RESPECT: An Insight to Attorney Compensation Plans.”

Thank you for the opportunity Camille!
