No, in New Jersey, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal. However, New Jersey allows you to make your will "self-proving" and you'll need to go to a notary if you want to do that. A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.

Two non-relative witnesses must sign their names and addresses and the document must be dated. Although New Jersey statutes do not require notarization, this form provides for this option. When you have completed your Advance Directive make several copies.

Just as an example, a Will must be signed in front of 2 witnesses and notarized. But if there is a situation where 1 or more of the witnesses signed the Will after the fact, thereby not actually witnessing the signing of the Will, then the document could be deemed as invalid.

A living will must be in writing, signed and dated before two adult witnesses who attest that the person signing the advanced directive is of sound mind, and is not under duress or undue influence. Alternatively, it may be signed, dated and acknowledged before a New Jersey notary public or a New Jersey attorney.

The New Jersey Statute sets out specific requirements for executing an Advance Directive. The advance Directive shall be signed and dated by, or at the direction of, the maker in the presence of two subscribing adult witnesses, a notary public, an attorney at law, or others authorized to administer oaths.
