Why are two witnesses required for a signature by mark?

  1. To ensure legality

  2. To provide physical assistance

  3. To view the making or acknowledging of the mark

  4. For notarial record completeness

The correct answer is: To view the making or acknowledging of the mark

In some jurisdictions, two witnesses are required for a signature by mark to ensure the legality of the document as they are physically present and can verify that the individual making or acknowledging the mark is doing so willingly and with the knowledge of the document's contents. This requirement helps prevent potential instances of fraud or coercion. The other options, while potentially beneficial, do not directly address the necessity of having witnesses to verify the authenticity of the signature by mark.
