Frequently Asked Questions
Does a will need to be notarized?
In most states, no. A will needs two witnesses to be valid. However, a notarized self-proving affidavit attached to the will makes probate faster by eliminating the need for witnesses to testify in court.
Does a trust need to be notarized?
While not always legally required, trusts should be notarized, especially if they transfer real property. Notarization adds legal validity and helps prevent challenges from heirs.
How much does it cost to notarize a will?
The notary fee is $5-$15 per signature depending on your state. You may need multiple notarizations (testator and two witnesses on the self-proving affidavit), so budget $15-$45.
