[WSBAPT] Self-Proving Affidavit

[Philip N. Jones]

Unless I am missing something here (always a possibility), I would be surprised to see legal authority suggesting that the testator needs to sign the affidavit.
If anyone has such authority, please send us a copy, or a cite, or something.  I will then call my malpractice carrier.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Self-Proving Affidavit

Greetings, does the testator have to sign the actual “Self-Proving Affidavit” page that is attached to their Will in order for it to be self-proving or can just the witnesses sign that page and have it notarized. My “research” has come up with conflicting answers.

Thanks.
