– Board Member At Large
I’m Monique Edwards-Robinson—founder of MER Notary Services, paperwork whisperer, and calm in the chaos for attorneys, estate planners, and real estate teams.
I specialize in making virtual notarization feel less like a process and more like a partnership. Whether it’s powers of attorney, real estate documents, or full trust packages, I help legal professionals get everything signed, sealed, and squared away—without delays, confusion, or tech headaches.
Clients often tell me I have a laid-back, calming presence that puts them at ease, even in high-stress moments. But make no mistake—I bring precision, professionalism, and reliability to every session.
I perform online notarizations using secure platforms like Pactima and NotaryCam, delivering smooth and compliant services to clients across the U.S. and internationally.
