The short answer is no. Wills in Ohio are not notarized, they are witnessed by 2 adults that are not recipients in the will, among other conditions. Furthermore, your power of attorney ceases to work upon your death. I would suggest you meet with an estate planning attorney. Our firm provides free consultations for this.
