REQUEST CONSULTATION
A notary public is a person who serves as an official witness to the execution (signing) of contracts, agreements, and an almost a limitless variety of legal documents. A notary public can also certify documents to be true copies of the original. Notarization simply refers to an official act of a Notary. Notaries also have the authority to administer oaths, solemn affirmations, and declarations that are used for affidavits and statutory declarations. Please be aware that notaries can only notarize your signature if you sign in their presence.

Who can witness a document?
The individual you choose to witness a document should have no financial or other interest in an agreement. We recommend choosing a neutral third party. A neutral third party is someone who does not benefit from the document and is not related to any party. Ideally a witness will observe the relevant party or parties signing the document and then the witness will sign the document as proof that they witnessed the parties signing. The witnesses must be of legal age and they must be mentally capable of managing their property and making their own decisions.
