With the magic of text processing, why not just replace the
Will?

self-proving
Hi Listmates!
I am in need of guidance from more experienced estate planning attorneys!
I have a client with a will that was not notarized, and is therefore not
self-proving. I have been retained to draft a codicil to make some changes
to her will. I was wondering whether, if I draft the codicil such that it
republishes the will, I can cure the lack of notarization in the original
document? Would this be effective? I looked at the RCW and didn't see any
guidance there.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
