FAQs

Common questions.

Notarization is the act of authenticating and certifying documents so there’s no question about them being fraudulent. Often referred to as a notarial act, notarizations happen in three steps. A Notary public officially witnesses the signing, identifies the signers, and then seals the document.

Even a perfectly written estate plan can be challenged if it isn’t notarized correctly. Properly notarizing your estate plan helps to reduce the risk of:

  • Costly probate battles
  • Challenges to your final wishes

Proper notarization also helps to:

  • Ensure documents are legally enforceable
  • Save your family time and stress later

Some states require one or two witnesses when signing estate planning documents. A witness is simply someone who observes you signing and confirms that you did so willingly. Having witnesses creates a stronger legal record and helps avoid disputes during probate.

Witnesses don’t need to review your documents or know what’s inside them. Their role is limited to being present during the signing and adding their signature when required.

Because witness requirements vary by state, your notary can help explain what’s needed and guide the process to make sure everything is completed correctly.

You can find notarization options by logging into your Trust & Will account.

If you choose to find your own notary, be sure to confirm they accept estate planning documents. Some states also require witnesses, so it’s important to plan for that ahead of time.

For added convenience, Trust & Will partners with a mobile notary service that can come to you and help guide the process, including witness requirements when applicable.”
