In California, you must have two witnesses for a will. The pdf I'm linking specifically says at the bottom "At least two witnesses must sign. Notarization alone is not sufficient."
Edit:
More to the point perhaps, I cite this section of the CA Probate Code (linked below):
" Section 6110 (c) The will shall be witnessed by being signed by at least two persons each of whom (1) being present at the same time, witnessed either the signing of the will or the testator's acknowledgment of the signature or of the will and (2) understand that the instrument they sign is the testator's will."

Notary Public do not need witnessed documents as a general rule. Notary Public's are certified and bonded and have regulations to adhere to while performing their duties.
Witness' can be used as extra insurance, but aren't necessary.

Usually a notary, but they have to say they witnessed your signing it! If not, a notary stamp means nothing. Any lawwyer is a Notary and they don't need a stamp!
It has to say "Signed before me this day------ by ______!
