That is what Notaries DO. They witness and substantiate the signatures on the document as being valid.

However, the simple act of notarization does NOT make a document a "legal" document.

In the case of a will - the Notary's only function (IF notarization of a will was even required by state laws) would be to ensure that the signature of the testator was genuine. The purpose of witnesses to a the signing of a will is if the signature of the testator happened to be challenged at probate, the witnesses could be called upon to verify that the signature actually was the decedents.
