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.
Attest is a legal term that refers to the act of a person swearing to or affirming the truth of something. Attestation may be made by bearing witness to the execution of a document by signing one's signature to the document. All states require at least two witnesses to attest that a will was signed and declared to be a will. There is an exception in some states for a will written in one's own handwriting. Attest means to certify a document by signature or oath, as in an official capacity.
The "Signature of Natural Person Signing Above" refers to the handwritten or electronic signature of an individual who is executing the legal document. This signature indicates the person's consent and acknowledgment of the terms outlined in the document. It signifies that the individual is acting in their personal capacity, as opposed to representing a corporation or other entity. This element is essential for validating the document's authenticity and enforceability.

When a legal document specifies a "place of signature," it is referring to the physical location where the signatory signs the document. This information is important for establishing jurisdiction and determining the applicable laws that govern the agreement. It can also be used to verify the authenticity of the signature and ensure that the document is legally binding in the specified location.
"ITS", or "Its" is part of a document's signature block and follows the company name and person's signature. Eg: ABC Company, By: [signature], Its: [Title of person].

L.S. is an abbreviation for locus sigilli, Latin for "the place of the seal," signifying the place within a written contract where a seal is affixed in order to bind the agreement.See http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/L.S.
If by "notarized" you mean taking an acknowledgment such as on a deed or mortgage or administering an oath such as on an affidavit, you cannot get it done for another person because the notary is required to personally witness the signing. If by "notarized" you mean simply attesting to the validity of a signature, you can get it done for another person, because that type of notarial act may be done based on the notary's personal knowledge or other satisfactory proof of the person's signature. For example if a notary is attesting to a signature and personally knows the person's signature, the notary may attest to the signature but may not complete an acknowledgment that the person signed it in his/her presence.
Foot Note
"Its" on the signature line of a document could be an abbreviation for the person's name or initials. It is common for individuals to sign documents using their initials to provide a quick and recognizable signature.
/s/ on a signature line means that the signature is on the original document, not on the copy that you're holding. It is a representation that the original document is properly signed, but for some reason you only have an unsigned copy of the document. An unsigned copy of a document may be used for reference only or it may be a file copy (when it is not necessary to have a signed copy of the document).
