Why Your Estate Plan Needs a Notary
Creating an estate plan is one of the most important things you can do for your family. It protects your assets, spells out your final wishes, and ensures that the people you love are taken care of after you are gone. But even the most carefully written estate planning documents can run into legal problems if they are not properly signed and notarized.
In Texas, several estate planning documents are legally required to be notarized in order to be valid and enforceable. A durable power of attorney that has not been notarized can be rejected by banks, courts, and government agencies. A medical power of attorney without notarization may not be accepted by hospitals when your family needs it most. Taking care of these details now means your loved ones will not face unnecessary legal challenges later.

Estate Planning Notary FAQ
Does a will need to be notarized in Texas?
A will in Texas does not legally require notarization to be valid. However, adding a notarized self-proving affidavit to your will at the time of signing is strongly recommended by estate planning attorneys throughout Austin. This affidavit removes the need for your witnesses to appear in court after you pass, which makes the probate process faster and easier for your family. We notarize self-proving affidavits at your location throughout Austin and all of Central Texas. Learn more about our mobile notary services.
What estate planning documents require notarization in Texas?
In Texas, a durable power of attorney must be notarized by law to be valid. A medical power of attorney must be signed before a notary or two qualified witnesses. A directive to physicians and advance directive also require notarization or witnesses. A self-proving will affidavit requires notarization even though the will itself does not. Living trusts are not legally required to be notarized but are almost always notarized in practice so that financial institutions and courts will accept them.

Do I need witnesses for my estate planning documents in Texas?
Some Texas estate planning documents require both witnesses and a notary, while others require only one or the other. A standard will requires two witnesses but no notary unless a self-proving affidavit is being added. A medical power of attorney requires either two witnesses or a notary. A directive to physicians also accepts either notarization or witnesses. Your estate planning attorney will specify exactly what each document requires.
