Who can witness a deed of assignment?

[pennywise]

Hi

My bank sent me a deed of assignment for the mortgage protection. It need to be witnessed but there is no specification about who is authorised to witness. Can this be the garda?
Thanks

I am certain that RedOnion is correct. However, given the modern levels of administrative incompetence in financial institutions I would actually ask the bank to confirm first [in writing] if a particular witness is acceptable. Otherwise, Sod's Law says that they will send it back and say it needs to be signed by person such and such

I signed it in the bank.
