A "Notary Public" or a "Public Notary" is a legal professional (e.g. a Lawyer) who can put their signature on a document and say it is what it says it is. For example, you may need a Notary Public to sign a photocopy of your passport to show that it is a genuine photocopy of your actual passport.
Anyone who has applied for and received their state notary certification. More specifically, notary public is not a title that arrives for free when you become a doctor, lawyer, or judge, you must still apply to become a notary and pass the notary test.

While some Notary Public officials maintain an office, the two locations you are likely to find a Notary Public is at a bank or at a lawyer's office.For a small fee, A Notary Public will witness you signing the document, and will imprint the paper with a special embossed raised seal. The Notary will sign and date this document.

The Will does not have an Executor (male) or Executrix (female) then it should go to a lawyer, but a diligent person can actually Probate the Will on their own. Books with the forms inside can be bought at book stores. I Probated my in-laws Estate and it wasn't hard at all. If there are Heirs in the Will they should be given copies of the Will (they do not need to be signed by a lawyer or Notary Public.) If you choose too, you can save a great deal of money by Probating the Will yourself. Probate forms are filled out as to the assets of the deceased. Probate is an assurance that all personal/property, loans and creditors are paid off in full and what is left goes into the Estate. Marcy
