We've outlined the documents included in each Estate Plan and their general signing requirements below. If more than one signature is required on a single document, all signing parties will need to be present at the same time. 

Will-based Estate Plan
-Last Will & Testament: Your signature, two witness signatures, notary signature*
-Living Will / Advance Health Care Directive: Your signature, two witness signatures, notary signature
-Power of Attorney: Your signature, two witness signatures, notary signature
-HIPAA Authorization: Your signature

Trust-based Estate Plan
-Revocable Living Trust: Your signature, two witness signatures, notary signature
-Pour Over Will: Your signature, two witness signatures, notary signature*
-Living Will / Advance Health Care Directive: Your signature, two witness signatures, notary signature
-Power of Attorney: Your signature, two witness signatures, notary signature

*Please keep in mind that requirements vary by state. Notarization is not required for the Last Will or Pour Over Will in some states although it is encouraged.
