Caveat: He should not be a witness if you also have other children and the distribution of the estate is not equal, ie. if he is getting more than the others. But you don't need witnesses to a trust (you do for a will)... it is better to have the trust notarized.

You don't have to have a witness for a trust. You do not have to have it notarized either, unless you want it recorded.
