Ensure Digital Signature Legality for Affidavit of Service in Mexico

How to eSign a document: digital signature legality for Affidavit of Service in Mexico

There are certain documents where witnesses are required. And there is some confusion as to the role these witnesses play. And I see that confusion manifests itself where some people are hesitant to be witnesses, they're afraid that they're somehow becoming legally responsible or that there's potential liability to witnessing a document. And the reality is there's not as a witness, your role is not to understand what's in the document, your role is not to make sure that the document is valid or invalid, or that it does what it purports to do. All you're really doing is confirming that you were present when the person signed the document. So there are things like deeds and there are things like trusts and Wills where two witnesses are required. Again, you don't need to understand what the will says you don't need to know that they're disinheriting their son and have an opinion as to whether or not that's right or wrong. That's not your role. All you're saying all you're doing is confirming I saw this person sign this document and just an extra layer of fraud protection has no liability to you, as a witness to confirm the validity of the document essentially. I hope this helps
