Why You Need a Notary for Estate Planning

By Expedited Mobile Notary Team

Estate planning is essential for protecting your assets and your loved ones. But drafting the documents is only half the battle; they must be properly executed.

The Role of the Notary

In Florida, documents like a Last Will and Testament or a Durable Power of Attorney require the principal's signature to be acknowledged by a notary. Furthermore, they often require two independent witnesses. The notary ensures that the signer is coherent, willing, and acting without coercion.

Self-Proving Affidavits

Most modern wills include a "Self-Proving Affidavit." This notarized page prevents your witnesses from having to physically appear in probate court after your passing, saving your family significant time and money.
