Is a document legal with one signature?
Depends on whether either party has signed it. The document may be used as evidence of an agreement that was attempting to be finalized even if neither party has signed it. If only one side has signed it, it can be used to enforce the agreement against the party that did sign it. If work had already been done in reliance on the contract being signed, it could be used to provide compensation for that effort.On the other hand. If the document was not signed at all it is of no effect and not valid.

If you have a legal document that is signed and you scratch something out. Is this a form of altering?
If the "scratch" was made after the document was signed, and was made without the knowledge and consent of any other party having an interest in it, or if the "scratch" substantially changes the information in the document, then yes, that is a form of altering. This can be a criminal offense, depending on the nature of the document, the change that was made, and the reason for making it. The usual procedure for making changes in a document is to draw a single line through the text to be removed (so that it can still be read), enter the changed or correct information adjacent to the original, and have all signatories to the document initial the change.
How do you notarize a letter of two pages?
It would be best to take the document to an NP (Notary Public). However if you wish to notorise it then all paragraphs should be initailed, the document should be signed on both pages making clear that the first page is part of two. On the second page their should be a brief statement as to where the document was signed & witnessed. Should further include details of main signatory and that of the witnesses to the document. It should state "I certify that in front of these here present at New York, that this is an original document". (Then signed by the person testifying together with name in block capitals and their address. Followed by the other witnesses signature and address details. Many establishments may not accept a proper motorised document unless signed/witnessed by a professional. If in doubt seek advice of a Notary Public.
