If he has Ned's signature on the parchment, then he'll believe it. It may be hard for him and may take some time, but he'd certainly know Ned's signature. Add Robb's and possibly Catelyn's signature to the document that makes him King in the North, and I think he'll believe it.

If there's signatures he will believe it, no doubt. But I think he's going to have some coming to terms conflicts with his identity. Jon is a brooding, emo sort of man (probably gets that from Rhaegar

). He grew up believing himself a bastard with nothing to inherit and went to the Wall, when he was really a Prince/future King all along and potentially not a bastard? I think it would take some time for that to sink in. I think Jon would also wonder if Benjen knew/suspected it and if he had something to do with R&L escaping and why he chose to take the black, especially since Brandon died. Also, I think Benjen told Jon in both AGoT and season 1 that Jon should wait a couple of years before joining the Watch and that he didn't know what he'd be giving up, that he had never had a woman before, etc.

Pretty sure Stannis and company will know Bran is alive by this point when he saves Theon's arse through the heart tree or ravens.

And that's not even going into the whole Davos/Rickon angle.

And I seriously doubt Ned left anything to paper with such an important secret. He refused to even tell Cat, he's not going to just leave that on a parchment that could get stolen.
