Frequently Asked Questions
Does my document need to be witnessed?Most documents and contracts do not require a witness for them to be legally valid. However, many banks and other institutions have their own policies about signing requirements, and may refuse to accept documents that are not witnessed, regardless of whether they are legally correct.
Also, if there is a possibility of a misunderstanding or you want better evidence of the execution of the agreement for the purposes of litigation then you may want to get your document witnessed.Who can be a witness?Ideally a witness should be an adult who does not have any interest in the document being signed and who is capable of understanding the witnessing process.
