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

Will?

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!
