Regarding the execution of legal documents:
To attest is to bear witness, to authenticate something by signing as a witness.
An acknowledgment is a formal declaration in the presence of an authorized officer, such as a notary public, by someone who signs a document and confirms that the signature is authentic.
To become a notary, you will need to receive training from the National Notary Association. This generally costs about $500.

No. As of June 1st, 2010, FedEx Office (aka Kinkos) no longer provides Notary services.
Yes, there is a difference between "attest" and "witness." "Attest" typically refers to formally affirming something while "witness" usually refers to observing an event or transaction and providing testimony about it. In legal contexts, a witness can attest to what they observed.
In many states, a notary stamp is the notary seal. In general, people use "notary seal" as a reference to an embossing/raised seal. However, some states require notaries to use stamps rather than embossers, and in these areas it is common to refer to the stamp as a "notary seal".
A witness to a notary public transaction is typically anyone who is not a party to the transaction and is of legal age and sound mind. The witness should be present to observe the signing of the document and be willing to attest to the fact that they witnessed the signing.
A notary public can notarize signatures for documents here in the U.S. However in some cases an individual that resides in Canada and will not have access to a notary public. Some legal documents requires a notary public and in that case I would advise the Canadian to go to the nearest American notary public (possibly an Embassy).
Yes, in the Philippines, affidavits typically need to be notarized by a notary public to be considered official and legally binding. The notary will verify the identity of the person signing the affidavit and witness the signing of the document to attest to its authenticity.
In most cases a Notary Public can attest to someone's signature on a legal instrument, even her husband's (or his wife's), depending on your State law. The client signs it, anyway, not the attorney.
(And Truthfulness Attestor) Attest to the truth, True and accurate representation of the facts; To certify by a signature that the signer has been present at particular writing/signings (A Notary)
There would be no need for a notary to be on a phone call between a lawyer and client. I am a notary and my job is to notarize documents not listen in between client and attorney.

Not necessarily. Those documents that require notarized signatures will have the requirement as part of the form.Added: The above is true in part - however - IF it is required that any signature(s) on the document be notarized, they MUST be signed in the physical presence of a Notary Public in order for them to attest that the signature was valid.
