Re: Do you have to have witnesses...per PAW, by Brad Ca
2006 State Witness Requirements (as determined by PROPERTY LOCATION)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
CT - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary
FL - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary - DEEDS ONLY
GA - 2 witnesses, one MUST be the notary
LA - 2 witnesses, CANNOT be the notary
SC - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary
NOTES:
1) FL - Mortgages DO NOT require witnesses, DEEDS (QuitClaim, Warranty, etc.) do.
2) Lenders may require witnesses, even though there is no state requirement

You should have the number of witnesses required for the state where the property is, or the number of witnesses requested by the lender or title company, whichever is stricter. The lender is within its rights to require witnesses even if the state does not.
