Missouri notaries - Help!
I'm in Kansas, but am doing a signing tonight and the property is located in Missouri. Are any witnesses required on the Deed of Trust? In Kansas, we don't need any witnesses, just the notary. Thanks.

Missouri is not a witness state - here are the witness states (Thanks PAW)
2005 State Witness Requirements (for deeds and mortgages)
-------------------------------
CT - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary
FL - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary - DEEDS OF CONVEYANCE ONLY, not
mortgages
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) VT - Effective 7/1/04, Act 150, Sec. 1.27 V.S.A. §2 was amended to
remove witness requirements.
3) Lenders may require witnesses, even though there is no state requirement
