There are three primary estate planning documents in California that must be witnessed. Two of them can be notarized in lieu of having witnesses. Do you know which two can be notarized in lieu of witnesses? This matters because notaries can charge $10.00 per signature in California. At OnlineEstatePlans.pro, we maximize the use of witnesses to avoid using notary acknowledgements when possible. This saves our clients money. Ok, here are the three primary documents I referenced above: a) a Last Will; b) Advance Health Care Directive; and c) Financial Durable Power of Attorney. There could be (and in some circumstances are) other requirements (e.g., use of Ombudsman, qualifications for witnesses, etc.) for execution, so do not rely upon this post. As always, you need to confer with competent legal counsel before executing your estate planning documents. If you think you know which documents can be notarized in lieu of being witnessed, post your answer below.
