New Colorado Law Allows Notarized Wills Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter signed a bill into law May 21,2009 that allows the use of notarized wills as an alternative to wills that are attested by two witnesses. House Bill 1287 amends the Colorado Revised Statutes Section 15-11-502 to state that a will shall be in writing; signed by the testator or in the testator’s name by someone in the testator’s conscious presence and by the testator’s direction; and either signed by at least two witnesses or acknowledged by the testator before a notary public or other individual authorized by law to take acknowledgments. The bill states that testimony is not needed to prove that a will is self-proved, unless there is evidence of fraud or forgery affecting the acknowledgment or affidavit of the will. The bill also creates a rebuttable presumption that a notarized will meets the requirements for execution of a will and allows the attestation or testimony of an attesting witness to establish proper execution of a witnessed will. The new law takes effect July 1, 2010.

Webcam or Video Appearance is Not Acceptable as Physical Presence before NotaryElectronic notarizations in Colorado allow electronic documents to be signed, notarized and transmitted electronically, rather than using paper documents. Electronic notarizations do not mean remote notarization. The Colorado SOS website states: "The signer must appear in the physical presence of the notary to affirm, swear, or acknowledge the document to be notarized.” ABC Legal Docs Receives 2011 Best of Colorado Springs Award
