[WSBAPT] Self proving affidavit/declaration - notarized?

[Sandra Perkins]

I always use a declaration of the witnesses under penalty of perjury (with
no notary), and I have never had any problems with probate.

Happy Friday - 

 

Just curious if any of you for your wills, for the self-proving affidavit,
use a declaration without a notary?

 

I have seen that to satisfy RCW 11.20.020 for a self-proving affidavit for a
will, instead of the more traditional affidavit with two witness and a
notary, just having a declaration with the two witness signatures. Pursuant
to RCW 9A.72.085 the witnesses need to declare under penalty of perjury
under the law of the State of Washington true and correct., but it seems if
this is satisfied, no notary is required for the affidavit.

 

Has anyone used this regularly? Any problems in probate?

 

Thanks so much, 

 

Sherman
