Frequently Asked Questions
Does a will need to be notarized?
Requirements vary by state. Some states require notarization, others require witnesses, and some accept self-proving affidavits attached to the will. California and Texas both recognize self-proving wills with notarized affidavits.
Can a notary notarize a power of attorney?
Yes. Powers of attorney typically require notarization to be valid. The principal must sign in the notary's presence and present valid identification.
Should I get my advance directive notarized?
While not always legally required, notarizing advance directives adds an extra layer of authentication and can help prevent challenges to the document's validity.
