Regarding the requirements for signing a will in Florida and / or the need for a notary:
To finalize your will in Florida:
You must sign your will in front of two witnesses, and your witnesses must sign your will.
In Florida, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal.
However, Florida allows you to make your will “self-proving” and you’ll need to go to a notary if you want to do that. A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.
To make your will self-proving you and your witnesses will go to the notary and sign an affidavit that proves who you are and that each of you knew you were signing the will.
