Notary services in Santa Rosa, California, play a critical role in the legal system, providing official verification of identity for signers on documents. This Blog discusses wills, if they need to be notarized and the benefits that this process provides.
The central value of notarization lies in the Notary’s impartial screening of a signer for identity, willingness and awareness. This screening detects and deters document fraud, and helps protect the personal rights and property of private citizens from forgers, identity thieves and exploiters of the vulnerable.
A notarized letter or document is certified by a notary public, a licensed public officer who serves as an impartial witness to the signing of documents and establishes the authenticity of the signatures. A notary’s signature and seal are required to authenticate the signature on a letter or legal document.
Wills are legal documents that detail a person’s final wishes regarding the distribution of their assets and property after their passing.
