Which document can a disinterested third party not sign for someone who cannot sign?

  1. Legal contracts

  2. Estate wills

  3. Medical consent forms

  4. Documents requiring notarization

The correct answer is: Documents requiring notarization

A disinterested third party must be impartial and not have any financial interest in the transaction being executed. Legal contracts, estate wills, and medical consent forms may all require a third party to witness and sign, but the third party must not be disinterested. A notarization, on the other hand, requires the notary public to act as a disinterested third party to verify the identity of the person signing and ensure they are not being coerced or under duress. Therefore, a disinterested third party cannot sign a document that requires notarization on behalf of someone who cannot sign.
