Signings made simple: Introducing on-demand witness participation

In many states, witnesses are a fundamental part of establishing an estate plan, on top of notarization. That turns a signing into a scheduling problem, since it waits on uninvolved adults being in one place at one time. For a client who is unwell, homebound, or the last family member left in the state, that can mean the document never gets executed at all.

Watch the on-demand session to see remote witnessing and online notarization running together. The session covers:

• Estate planning documents require witnesses in many states in addition to notarization, which makes witness coordination a scheduling problem separate from the notary.
• On-demand remote witnesses remove the scheduling dependency, so a signing is limited by the client's availability instead of three other people's.
• Remote witnessing keeps witnesses, signer, and notary inside one recorded session, producing a single execution record.
• A recorded session with verified identity is stronger evidence of capacity and intent than witness signatures alone, which matters where instruments get contested.
