Notarize byline witness

To notarize the real estate documents, and the powers of attorney with special powers the signer and the witness must to be present in the same room, be able to communicate with each other, and connected to the same session with the notary. So, if for the rest notarial acts enough just to verify that the signer is eligible to sign the document - for real estate documents and some special powers of attorney, we need, also, to verify that the signer is capable, to sign this document. First, I will explain about the real estate documents, because here is a little bit more complicated process. This process has two parts: first part is verification by RON service provider, with the three questions to the signer, even, before the notary participate in the session. RON service provider asking about alcohol and drug influence. Also, the ability to perform normal daily activities and physical or mental conditions. The last question will be if the signer needs assistance with the daily care. If the signer will answer "yes" on any of these questions - he or she able to proceed with the notarial act. But, RON service provider will notify with the warning that, if you are a vulnerable adult the document is not valid, unless the witness presented in the same room with you. Then, after the signer passed RON service provider capacity verification, he or she will move to the session with a notary. And, now, the notary must to verify with some questions, if the signer capable to understand what is he or she signing right now. And, also, the notary should to verify, that the process is happening not under the pressure, or the forcing from somebody else, who's trying to have the signer to sign these documents. There are some questions, listed for the notary. Need to ask in order to proceed with the notarial act. And, those questions about marriage and spouse, and who helped to prepare these documents, and "What is your location right now?", and "What are you about to sign?" So, these, basically, are very simple questions for any person who is in normal physical or mental condition, answer correctly. Then, if the signer answers these questions, we can proceed to perform the notarial act. And, sign the document, and notarize it. Also, there is no strict list of estate planning documents, but I can give you a hint what kind of documents it can be. For example, wills, trusts, a waiver of spousal rights, and health care advanced directive, considered as real estate planning documents. Plus, powers of attorney with the banking transactions, and investment powers. Anyway, it's always better to get an advice from the attorney, before the signing. The last one, I will tell about the power of attorney with special powers. This one needs the witness present physically with the signer as well, but there is no capacity verification from RON service provider, or the notary. Just simply, if this document will be signed in separate locations - it will be not valid. So, what is the power of attorney with special powers? We can talk about the powers of trust, gift, survival rights, the right of the basic principle to be the beneficiary of a joint and survivor annuity. Also, disclaimer and appointment authority. These basic special powers that require the witness to be present with the signer in the same room, and participated in the same session. But, it's a good idea to get a consultation from your attorney, before the signing, anyway.
