Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Missouri

Rules with Witnesses

Can the attorney who is head of the trust can name himself as every position...i.e. executor, trustee, etc.? Can said attorney use himself and/or his family members as witnesses and official notary when one is an attorney and also a public notary?

Re: Rules with Witnesses

I am sorry, but your question does not include enough of the facts of your situation for an attorney to provide a response of much value. Nothing prevents an attorney who is also a Notary from notarizing documents. Family members are often used to witness signatures since they are the ones usually present. If you would try again with a more complete statement, I believe that you might get a better response.
