Execution Ceremonies and Remote Online Notarization
Running a defensible signing ceremony, self-proving affidavits, and when RON and remote witnessing are (and are not) available.
What this guide covers
- Supervise the ceremony: publication, disinterested witnesses, notary, and an immediate self-proving affidavit.
- Document capacity and absence of undue influence contemporaneously, especially for at-risk clients.
- RON does not automatically authorize remote witnessing of wills — verify the state-specific process.
