You will need witnesses to sign your living will in the state of Michigan. If you take a look at the following example of a Michigan living will in pdf format, you will see spaces for witnesses to sign near the bottom of the document. http://www.halt.org/living_wills/michigan.pdf
In order for the living will to be legally binding it must be witnessed and notarized. This makes it much harder for your heirs to contest the will and claim it's illegitimate.

What is the difference between a subscribing witness and a credible witness in a notarial acts?
Credible Witness is stating the identity of the one signing in case their ID doesn't match their name. Example: Mary Taylor marries Joe Black, Mary's DL says Mary Taylor still since they just married but her legal name is now Mary Black. The credible witness swears and afirms that they know the signer and has no financial interest in the transaction.Subscribing Witness is a person who has signed a document that needs to be notarized need not personally appear before a notary public, but a representative may appear before the notary, take an oath that the signature of the principal signer is genuine, and sign as a witness.

Should you fill out the legitimation papers before you have them notarized or does the notary need to see you fill them out before they will sign them?
You may fill them out in advance, but DO NOT sign themuntil you are in the presence of the Notary.
Can a document with a date in the pass be notorized?
It depends. There are two types of notarial acts - an acknowledgment and an oath. When a notary takes an acknowledgment, the signer of the document appears before the notary and declares that he/she signed the document voluntarily. It does not matter how long ago the person signed it, and it does not need to be signed in the notary's presence. However, the date on the notary's certificate must be the date that the person actually appeared before the notary and the notary signed his name and affixed his seal. When a notary administers an oath on a paper document such as an affidavit, the person must sign in the notary's presence. Therefore, the document must be dated the date that the person appeared before the notary, took the oath and signed the document. A notary can never back-date or post-date a notarial certificate. The day that the signer appears in person before the notary, and the notary affixes his/her seal or stamp, is the date that should go in the notary's certificate. If the document is being acknowledged rather than sworn to, the date the document was executed/signed by the original signer is irrelevant.
