Arkansas Notary Practice Test

When can a disinterested third party sign a document without witnesses?

1. When the document is a simple agreement

2. When appointed by a court

3. When no witnesses are available

4. Never, 2 witnesses are always required

The correct answer is: Never, 2 witnesses are always required

Option A is incorrect because a disinterested third party cannot sign the document without witnesses, regardless of the type of document it is. Option B is incorrect because even if a disinterested third party is appointed by a court, they still need witnesses to sign the document. Option C is incorrect because while witnesses may not be readily available, it is still necessary for a disinterested third party to have witnesses present when signing a document. The correct explanation is A disinterested third party must always have two witnesses present when signing a document. This ensures that the document is legally binding and prevents fraudulent behavior. Therefore, the option "Never, 2 witnesses are always required" is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they imply that there are certain situations where a disinterested third party can sign without witnesses, which is not the case.
