In New York State, notaries public are authorized to notarize documents, including wills, but they cannot witness the signing of the will. For a will to be valid in New York, it must be signed by the testator in the presence of at least two witnesses, who must also sign the will. Therefore, while notaries can provide notarization for other documents related to the estate, they cannot solely execute a will on their own.

In New York State can a notary notarize documents for a family member?
In most states a will does not have to be notarized.A will (or codicil to a will) in NY must be attested by two witnesses. A notary is not required. In fact, NY notaries are discouraged from notarizing wills so that their notarization will not be construed as a validation of the will. A notary is only attesting to the signature on the document and not to the content.If a NY will is properly executed it can also be notarized to help avoid future challenges regarding the authenticity of the signature only. Although not required a notarized self-proving affidavit can be attached to a will. In the affidavit the witnesses and testator swear to the fact they witnessed and signed the will. It avoids the necessity of finding the witnesses at the time of death of the testator and makes it simple for the court to allow the will. Most states accept such wills.A will should always be drafted by an attorney who specializes in probate law in your state.
