Signing requirements in Michigan

Each document carries its own witness and notary rules — some need two witnesses, some a notary, some neither. Every file in the kit states exactly what its document requires, and the instructions walk you through signing them in one session.

Format and delivery

Fillable Word (.docx) template plus a print-ready PDF for the same document, delivered as an instant download after checkout. Every file includes plain-English completion instructions, a signing checklist, and a “common mistakes” list. Version 1.1 — legal research verified September 15, 2026.

Rexford Mercantile is not a law firm, and Jonathan and Ruth Rexford are not attorneys. This is a self-help legal template with general instructions — not legal advice, and no attorney–client relationship is created. You are responsible for confirming the form fits your situation and for signing, witnessing, and notarizing it as your state requires. Consult a licensed attorney in your state if your situation involves a blended family, a beneficiary with a disability, out-of-state property, a business, or a family dispute.
