Does a deed need to be signed by two directors?

Who can be a witness to a deed poll?
Apart from these conditions, your witness could be anyone — a friend, neighbour, or colleague, for example. If you’re a British national living abroad or in the Bailiwick of Jersey, or if you need to have your deed poll legalised, your deed poll should be witnessed by a solicitor or notary public.
