New York does not require you to notarize wills for them to be legal. But, if you want to make your will “self-proving,” both you and your witnesses can visit a notary. A court can accept a self-proving will without reaching out to the witnesses, speeding up the probate process.
Signatures: Both the buyer and the seller should sign and print their names, acknowledging their agreement to the terms and conditions stated in the document. Notary public (optional): While not required in New York, notarization adds another layer of protection and validity to the document.
To register an ATV, you must provide proof of who you are. You must provide proof of identity, date of birth, and at least six points of proof of name. For the most recent listing of acceptable documents see Proofs of Identity For Registration and Title (PDF) (ID-82).

An ATV is the more maneuverable vehicle compared to a UTV, as ATVs are able to handle tight turns and dense timber or brush with ease. Also, narrow off-road trails may only be open to ATVs (and motorcycles/dirt bikes), though some restricted routes can accommodate 50-inch SxS UTVs.
