- The document is a legal form for a Living Will Declaration, requiring either two witnesses or a notary public for validation.
- If using witnesses, both must sign, print their names, provide addresses, and date the form. Each witness attests the declarant signed in their presence and was of sound mind, free from duress or undue influence.
- If no witnesses are available, the alternative is a Notary Acknowledgment under Ohio law (R.C. §2133.02(B)(2)).
- For the notary option, the declarant must appear before a notary public in the specified county of Ohio.
- The notary fills in the date, confirms the declarant personally appeared and acknowledged executing the declaration, and attests the declarant was of sound mind and not under duress or undue influence.
- The notary then signs the form to complete the acknowledgment.
