A will with a notarized witness can only be made in the presence of a notary. A notary is the only person who is legalized by the state to perform such an action.
A witness would be a person who saw the "declarant" or "appearer" sign the document.
A witness can make written statements of their own recollection and have THEM notarized if they wish, although I am unclear as to what purpose this would serve. A witnesses statement (notarized or not) cannot be substituted for their actual appearance and in-person oral testimony in court. Any oral statements made by a witness to investigating authorities are assumed to be truthful and accurate, and no need exists to notarize the notes that the investigators will take. Witnesses DEPOSITIONS can be notarized, although most depositions are given/taken while under oath anyway.
Question is unclear. If you mean how do you get YOUR signature notarized for the other person - just sign the paper in front of a Notary and send it to them. If you are asking about getting THEIR signature notarized, they must do it in the presence of a Notary in Minnesota, where they are. Notaries can only notarize signatures that they actually witness in person.
= If someone were to witness a week of your life what assumptions would that person make? =
No. A notary is just a witness to someone singing a document. The document could pertain to custody or power-of-attorney issues, but not necessarily. The notarized paper could mean anything . . . you'll just have to read it to find out.
an affidavit should be prepared much like a witness statement. however these documents should be obtained from an attorney and then filled out with guidance from a practicind civil atty. yes have it notarized
Surely the witness has to witness the contract being signed by the parties in the first place and then sign to state this?
The notary seal and notary's signature does not make a document a binding contract. The signatures on a contract can be notarized. However, when a document if notarized, the notary is simply stating that to the best of their knowledge the signature is that of the person signing the document. In other words, the notary verifies a signature that they witness. A contract would be binding once the participants sign it in front of the notary and the document is notarized.
It can be. It is up to the prosecutor or the defense lawyer. They need to be notarized.
Yes, a witness is typically required for an affidavit to be considered legal. The witness must observe the signing of the affidavit by the affiant and sign the document themselves to attest to the proper execution of the affidavit.
You don't notarize a will, you notarize a signature, such as witnesses to the will. Yes, in most places an executor can be a witness and have their signature notarized. There are sometimes problems when a beneficiary is also a witness.
To obtain a notarized sworn statement, you need to write out the statement you want to make, sign it in front of a notary public, and have the notary public witness your signature and stamp the document with their official seal. You can find a notary public at banks, law offices, or government offices.
