This is a new one for me. A guy is dividing his property up among children and grandchildren. One grandchild (over 21 with Down's Syndrome an no POA or conservatorship) is to sign and the father wants (INSISTS) to co-sign.
Simple if the father had paperwork to show POA or coservatorship, but how do I handle this in both the notarization and in my journal? Does the father have any legal right or obligation to co-sign when the document doesn't address him?
Again, the signer is very high functioning and doesn't seem to have any "legal" guardian, very informed, BUT/AND the father insists on signing.
The attorney that drafted the document knows the situation, but I want to make sure I do everything "by the book".
Thanks!
