[WSBAPT] Handwritten Will

[Marcia Mellinger]

I had that situation a few years ago and the commission admitted the will to probate when we provided a declaration for the notary to sign that had the info required for a witness.  Marcia

John what if the will has two witnesses but both are unavailable for an attestation certificate or are unable to testify. Is the will then inadmissible?RH From: wsbapt-bounces at lists.wsbarppt.com [mailto:wsbapt-bounces at lists.wsbarppt.com] On Behalf Of John J. Sullivan

Subject: Re: [WSBAPT] Handwritten Will Interesting question. My concern would be whether the notary can swear or declare all the necessary statements. For example, does he have to say the testator requested that he witness the will signing? RCW 11.12.020.  John SullivanSent from my iPhone

There is only one witness signature, but the testator's signature was notarized.  Is it possible for the notary to act as a second witness if he is willing to fill out the appropriate affidavit?
