notarized statements
Officially witnessed declarations
Notarized statements are written declarations that have been officially witnessed and certified by a notary public.
The notary verifies the signer's identity and watches them sign, then affixes an official seal.
This adds legal weight to the document, making it harder to later claim forgery or coercion: The bank required notarized statements from both parties before releasing the funds.
