A witness signature is a signature from a person who observes the signing of a legal document and confirms its authenticity. It is important in legal documents to ensure that the document is valid and legally binding.
To attest a signature on a legal document means to provide a formal confirmation that the signature is authentic and that the individual who signed the document did so willingly and with the understanding of its contents. This is typically done by a witness or a notary public, who signs the document themselves to validate the signature and the circumstances under which it was made. Attestation serves to enhance the document's credibility and can be essential for its enforceability in legal contexts.
You haven't added any detail but generally the answer is No.
You are a witness to the signing of a signature on the document and nothing else, (unless it is stated that you are a witness to something else involved with the legal matter directly above where you will sign the document as the witness.)You do not have to know what the document says, what or who it is about, or anything else about the document in order to be a witness to the signing of the document.You are only a witness to the 'original signature' that was signed on the document and could be asked to verify the original signature, as well as your own signature, by anyone involved in the legal process.I would recommend you Do Not ever sign as a witness unless you are certain the signature is valid and it was signed in front of you.
