 Four States Require Witnesses for Mortgages and Deeds
Posted by  nobhill on 11/6/10 1:42pm

FYI - there are four states that require two witness signatures when you notarize a deed or mortgage in these states:

Florida - 2 witnesses* for deeds** but not mortages
Connecticut - 2 witnesses* for deeds and mortgages
Georgia - 2 witnesses* required for deeds and security deeds
Louisiana - 2 witnesses required for "authentic acts"
South Carolina - 2 witnesses for deeds

*Notary may be one of the witnesses
** for deeds executed by an individual

Best protocol is to get the state where the property is from the agency or title company ASAP so you can let the borrower know either one or two witnesses will need to sign.
