Witnessing requirements
A reference guide setting out who may witness signatures on financial and legal documents, and how the witnessing must be done.
What it usually contains
- Who can and cannot act as a witness, including rules on relatives, beneficiaries and interested parties
- Age, capacity and residency conditions for witnesses
- Details a witness must record: full name, address, occupation and signature
- Rules for deeds, powers of attorney, wills, guarantees and mortgage documents
- Handling of remote or video witnessing, notarisation and overseas signing
What the assistant uses it for
Use it to check whether a signature on a particular document needs a witness, and whether a proposed witness is eligible. It also answers what information the witness must write down and when a notary or solicitor is required instead.
How it is versioned
A document of this type has exactly one current version at a time. Upload a revision and it becomes the version that counts — the one before it is kept and dated, but is no longer what your assistant answers from. Nothing is ever deleted, so you can always show what this document said on a given date.
