Healthcare: The medical power of attorney is valid only if acknowledged before a notary or signed before two competent adult witnesses. The agent, relatives, heirs, the attending physician and some facility staff can't witness. Notary: "A notary is needed." Agent's acknowledgment: "A person accepts appointment as an agent under a durable power of attorney by exercising authority" Recording for real estate: "must be recorded in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the property is located" Durable after incapacity: "This power of attorney is not affected by subsequent disability or incapacity of the principal" Healthcare power of attorney: "You Sign It In The Presence Of Two Competent Adult Witnesses."

The testator and witnesses swear to an affidavit before an officer authorized to administer oaths. A will written wholly by hand can be self-proved any time during the testator's life. Bring 2 witnesses, each at least 14. The rule: Two or more credible witnesses who are at least 14. Pick witnesses who get nothing under the will and aren't married to someone who does. If a beneficiary would have to witness, stop and call the lawyer first: A gift to a witness is void if the will can't be proved without that witness's testimony, except that the witness can take up to an intestate share. The gift stands if at least one disinterested, credible person corroborates the witness's testimony (Estates Code 254.002, FindLaw's code text current as of January 2026). Have a notary or another officer who can administer oaths there for the self-proving affidavit. The statute names that officer rather than notaries by name. Allowed. The testator and witnesses swear to an affidavit before an officer authorized to administer oaths. Steps, ID, copies and review dates.
