How signing works in Missouri
Signing your will
- Gather two adult witnesses. They should not be people named in your will.
- Sign your will while both witnesses watch.
- Each witness signs while you watch.
- If you want, you can add one more form. It is called a self-proving affidavit. You and your witnesses sign it before a notary. It helps the court accept your will later.
- Keep the original somewhere safe.
Missouri has an electronic will law. We still prepare a will you print and sign in ink.
Remote online notarization where Missouri allows it, never for wills.
How to sign your healthcare directive
- Gather two adult witnesses and a notary. Your witnesses should be adults who are not your agent and are not named in your plan.
- Sign your health care directive while the witnesses and the notary watch.
- Each witness signs. Then the notary signs and stamps it.
- Keep the original somewhere safe. Share a copy with your doctor.
How to sign your financial power of attorney
- Choose how you will sign. You can meet a notary in person or online.
- Sign your power of attorney in front of the notary.
- For online signing, the notary will check who you are.
- Keep the original somewhere safe.
How to sign your revocable living trust
