Understanding Living Wills in Notarization

I’ve been noticing a growing number of clients asking about living wills lately, which has sparked my curiosity about how we can better serve them. It’s crucial for us as notaries to truly understand the nuances of these documents. Has anyone taken any recent courses or found resources that clarify best practices for notarizing living wills?
