I am putting together my living will, power of attorney, etc and need two unrelated witnesses. Out of curiosity, will bank branches do this (I am specifically thinking of Chase where I have to go Monday anyway)?

i would think they will. when i put together my living will before having a tumor removed from inside my spinal canal, the lady @ the credit union i belong to notorized it no problem. the hospital followed the living will to the "T", almost removing my mother-in-law because she told them she was my mother (who was in the "don't let in under any circumstances area") in her attempt to get more sympathy/attention, my wife said it was pretty funny, :)

laws vary depending on your state. here in texas, they only have to be legally competent to witness a will, iirc (i don't do probate for the most part).

tumor was benign but was beginning to grow, so i guess we got it very early on - i noticed issues w/ my quads in march or april, it persisted, got an mri in june, found tumor and had the surgery in the end of october of last year. the bitch about it is is that i never had a lower back injury before, so i go from nothing to that in ~6mos. been nearly a year now and have had 2 or 3mris since then and all looks good but have some continuing pain in the region and still get some massive pains down the legs but the neurosurgeon said that was "normal"

weird thing is a family friend had the exact same type of tumor just a bit lower (mine was l-spine, his was s-spine) and they got to his after it grew all around his spinal cord - needless to say he is basically paralyzed now w/ cancer... :(
