A notary acts as an impartial witness, verifying the identity of the testator and confirming that a will has been signed voluntarily and under a persons own free will. We also certify that all signatures on the will are genuine and that the will has been executed in accordance with the applicable state laws. The notary's role in the creation of a will helps to ensure the validity and legality of the document, protecting the testator's wishes and the interests of their beneficiaries.
