Important Considerations

- Wills: In Texas, a will must generally be witnessed by two disinterested witnesses. While a notary can notarize the self-proving affidavit of a will, the will itself typically requires witness signatures.

- Real Estate: Real estate documents often have additional requirements, such as the need to be recorded in the county where the property is located.
