Will Signing with Witnesses in Lake Oswego, Oregon
An Oregon will needs two witnesses, and finding two people who are free at the same time is often the hardest part. At our Lake Oswego office we provide both witnesses and notarize their affidavits in one appointment. Two witnesses are $60. See our notary and witness services.

What Oregon requires
| Oregon rule | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Two witnesses (ORS 112.235) | Each watches you sign, or hears you confirm your signature, and signs the will |
| Notarization not required | A notary does not replace a witness |
| Witness affidavits | Signed and notarized at the same time, they let the will be proved in probate without finding the witnesses later (ORS 113.055) |
| Paper only | Since January 1, 2026, an electronic document does not count as a written will in Oregon |
How a will signing works at our office
- Book a time and tell us you need two witnesses.
- Bring the will unsigned, with current photo ID. If your attorney prepared witness affidavits, bring those too.
- You sign in front of both witnesses; they sign after you.
- The witnesses sign their affidavits, and our notary notarizes them.
- You take the original home and store it safely, or return it to your attorney.
We are notaries, not lawyers. We do not write wills or advise on what they say; we provide the witnesses and notarize their affidavits.

Frequently asked questions
Does a will need to be notarized in Oregon?
No. It needs two witnesses. Notarizing the witnesses’ affidavits makes probate simpler later.
Can you provide the witnesses?
Yes. Two witnesses at our Lake Oswego office are $60.
Can a family member be a witness?
Oregon allows it, but disinterested witnesses, people who receive nothing under the will, are the cleaner choice. Ask your attorney.
Can I sign my will electronically in Oregon?
No. Since January 1, 2026, an electronic document does not count as a written will in Oregon. Sign it on paper.
