Why estate planning documents should be notarized
Fraud and Dispute Prevention
Getting your estate planning documents notarized helps prevent forgery as well as disputes in the future. When getting your documents notarized, you will need to present your government issued identification, as well as have two un-interested parties that will witness you signing the documents. Before the notarization takes place, the notary will also verify your willingness to sign the documents voluntarily, as well as your understanding of the documents.
Ensuring your Estate Documents are Legally Valid
In order for Estate Planning Documents , specifically the Durable Power of Attorney and the Healthcare Directives to be enforceable, notarization is required. Some states also require the Will be notarized. By having your estate planning documents notarized, your estate plan will be deemed valid as notarization demonstrates complying with state laws.

personal representative of your estate your intentions. Proper notarization helps with making sure your loved ones can properly grieve without having to worry about delays and disputes.
