Overview
It is a sworn statement by a witness to a will or codicil, confirming that the will-maker signed in the presence of the witnesses and the formalities were followed.
It is commonly required so a will can be accepted in the estate process.
It supports proving a will.
Wills and estates are governed by detailed law, and proving a will has specific requirements. This affidavit is sworn by a witness to support the will; obtain legal advice about the will and the estate. The will itself must be signed in person with the required witnesses.
