Which of the following is true regarding a disinterested witness?

  1. They must not have a beneficial interest in the transaction

  2. They can be a family member

  3. They should be a licensed attorney

  4. They can sign without witnesses

The correct answer is: They must not have a beneficial interest in the transaction

The term "disinterested" in this context means having no personal or financial stake in the transaction. Therefore, it is important for a disinterested witness to not have any beneficial interest in the transaction. Option B, which suggests that a family member can be a disinterested witness, is incorrect because they may have a personal or financial stake in the transaction, even if it is indirect. Option C is also incorrect because a disinterested witness does not need to be a licensed attorney. Finally, option D is incorrect because the presence of a witness is necessary to verify the authenticity of the signing.
