In Colorado, notarization can take the place of having two witnesses. (CO Rev Stat § 15-11-502(1)(c)) This is because the notarization validates the signature is authentic.

Lexi, Chatbot
I understand the importance of ensuring your will and living will are properly executed. Are you looking to have witnesses sign these documents as well?
I really need to know if I need both witnesses and notarizing or only notarizing.
Lexi, Chatbot
Are you located in a state that requires witnesses for the notarization of wills and living wills?
I am in Colorado and have no idea.
Lexi, Chatbot
Is there anything else the Estate Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with notarizing.
I guess not. Just whether I need both or only the notarization.
