No, not for the will itself.
The signing rule on the official page we read asks for two witnesses, who sign the will in the testator's presence. A notary isn't part of that rule; one comes in for the self-proving affidavit, where it's used.
In the official wording
"attested by at least two competent witnesses who subscribe their names to the will in the presence of the testator"
From NRS Chapter 133, Wills (Nevada Legislature), checked November 2026.
What else the signing needs
- Self-proving affidavit
- Allowed. Witnesses sign an affidavit before anyone authorized to administer oaths, or a declaration under penalty of perjury instead.
"an affidavit before any person authorized to administer oaths"
- Interested witnesses
- A gift to a witness is void unless two other competent witnesses also signed the will.
"All devises in a will to a subscribing witness are void unless there are two other competent subscribing witnesses"
- Remote or video signing
- People in different places count as present if they can communicate by audio-video. The affidavit form is changed to say a witness appeared that way.
"can communicate with each other by means of audio-video communication"
- Electronic wills
- Authorized under NRS 133.085.
"An electronic will is a will of a testator that:"
- Handwritten wills
- Recognized, with the same effect as a formally signed and witnessed will.
"Such wills are valid and have the same force and effect as if formally executed."
- Who can make a will
- Adults over 18 of sound mind.
"Every person of sound mind, over the age of 18 years, may, by last will, dispose of all his or her estate"
Next step
Plan an in-person signing, with the witnesses in the room. Online notarization of a will is generally not available through us: New Jersey's remote notarization law leaves wills and codicils out for signers outside the U.S. (N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.10), and states set their own rules on video witnessing. Here: People in different places count as present if they can communicate by audio-video. The affidavit form is changed to say a witness appeared that way.
