do Fl wills have to be notarized?

I have seen many different preprinted forms for florida wills some have notary wording some dont. Can anyone tell me a will is witnessed by two people does it still need to be notarized.

A will does not have to be notarized.
Actually we notarize signatures not documents.
People have their wills witnessed and the witnesses signatures notarized to make them self proving, which makes probate easier. As the witnesses signatures are being notarized the notary cannot be one of the witnesses.

I will only act as a notary on wills that have been drawn up by an attorney.
