A notary public is not a lawyer, but a person who is certified to verify your signature on a legal document. Just go to the nearest branch office of your local bank. They will have one or more notaries public on staff. You will need to bring the document you are signing and one or more pieces of photo ID. They will verify you are who you say you are, watch you sign, then place their stamp on the document verifying your signature. No big deal, and it won't cost you anything other than your time.

Actualy, this varies from state to state. In some states, notary republics have to undergo special certification (usually because, in those states, notaries can have powers up and beyond just certification of signatures--in some states, for instance, notaries can legally perform weddings).

Also, notarisation being free ALSO varies between states; in Kentucky, for instance, getting a notary to certify something is most certainly not free (it usually costs around $50, in fact; I happen to know a notary, which is how I know this). Also, banks may or may not have notaries for this reason (again, in Kentucky a lot of people actually make a business out of being a notary and advertise their services as a notary).

Depending on the laws in your state, you might also have to get witnesses (I know you do in Kentucky for some certification stuff).
