No. A notarized will only makes it self-proven. This means if it becomes necessary to probate your will you will not have to call the witnesses to court to testify about your mental state when you prepared your will. If your will is not notarized, your executor or administrator will have to call one or more of the witnesses to court to testify about your mental state when you prepared your will. All of our wills provide spaces for notary acknowledgements for your convenience.
