Is notarizing a living will permissible?

  1. No, only actual wills can be notarized

  2. Yes, if the signer agrees

  3. Yes, these are not actual wills but statements of the signer's medical preferences

  4. No, living wills are exempt from notarization

The correct answer is: Yes, these are not actual wills but statements of the signer's medical preferences

Notarizing a living will is permissible because living wills are not the same as traditional wills that dispose of a person's property after their passing. Living wills are documents that outline an individual's medical treatment preferences in case they become unable to communicate their wishes. Therefore, a notary can notarize a living will to ensure its authenticity and validity. This distinguishes option C as the correct answer.
