About Chelsea Rivera
Chelsea Rivera founded Notary On Demand to solve a problem she saw firsthand: most people face notarizations at the most stressful moments of their lives — buying a home, settling an estate, executing a power of attorney — yet the information available online was fragmented, jargon-heavy, and unreliable. She set out to change that.
Over more than a decade, Chelsea has developed deep expertise in notary law, estate planning documentation, powers of attorney, affidavits, apostilles, and deed transfers. Her writing process is grounded in primary legal sources: state statutes, the National Notary Association's Model Notary Act, and direct collaboration with practicing notaries and legal professionals across all 50 states.
Beyond writing, Chelsea has built and managed a team of ten freelance legal writers, establishing editorial standards that prioritize accuracy, plain-language clarity, and compliance with NNA guidelines. She uses industry-leading tools — SEMrush, Ahrefs, Clearscope, and MarketMuse — to ensure every article answers the specific questions real people are searching for. Her work has generated high-authority backlinks from the National Notary Association and other leading legal resources.
Before founding Notary On Demand, Chelsea worked across content strategy, brand communications, and digital marketing. She brings that cross-disciplinary background to every article she writes: rigorous in its legal accuracy, designed to be understood by anyone.

How Chelsea Ensures Accuracy
Every article published on Notary On Demand follows a rigorous editorial process developed and enforced by Chelsea personally. Legal content requires a higher standard — one mistake can have real consequences for readers.
1. Primary Source Research
All content is grounded in state statutes, the NNA Model Notary Act, and official government publications — not third-party summaries.
2. Legal Review
Complex topics involving estate planning or legal procedure are reviewed against current statutory language before publication.
3. Plain-Language Editing
Legal accuracy must not come at the expense of clarity. Every article is edited to be understandable to someone with no legal background.
4. Annual Updates
Notary laws change. High-traffic articles are reviewed at least annually and updated whenever state law or NNA guidance changes.
