Q: Affidavit Of Inheritance Papers notarized

Mother passed without a will in TN and left two vehicles in her name. My siblings would like fill out a Affidavit Of Inheritance form without going to probate court. Problem is both of them live in different countries and do not get along with each other. Since we all came to an agreement can I use separate Affidavit Of Inheritance form with notary from one county for that sibling and another notary from different county for the other sibling or they have be same notary person.

A: There is no requirement that one notary public notarize all signatures. However, there is not enough room on the form for more than one notarial affidavit, so one notary public would have to use the notarial affidavit on the form and the other would have to attach a separate notarial affidavit.
