In general, handwritten wishes without notarization or witnesses may not be considered legally binding as a will. The legality of such documents often depends on the laws of the specific jurisdiction. It's recommended to consult with a legal professional to understand the requirements for a valid will in your area.

Does a notary stamp requires a signature?
Yes, a notary stamp typically includes a notary's signature along with other identifying information such as the notary's commission expiration date and notary seal. The signature is an essential part of the notarization process to verify the authenticity of the document.
Can a document with a date in the pass be notorized?
It depends. There are two types of notarial acts - an acknowledgment and an oath. When a notary takes an acknowledgment, the signer of the document appears before the notary and declares that he/she signed the document voluntarily. It does not matter how long ago the person signed it, and it does not need to be signed in the notary's presence. However, the date on the notary's certificate must be the date that the person actually appeared before the notary and the notary signed his name and affixed his seal. When a notary administers an oath on a paper document such as an affidavit, the person must sign in the notary's presence. Therefore, the document must be dated the date that the person appeared before the notary, took the oath and signed the document. A notary can never back-date or post-date a notarial certificate. The day that the signer appears in person before the notary, and the notary affixes his/her seal or stamp, is the date that should go in the notary's certificate. If the document is being acknowledged rather than sworn to, the date the document was executed/signed by the original signer is irrelevant.
