[WSBAPT] Adding page to will already filed with court?

[Krista MacLaren]

Perhaps this is an opportunity to use a motion for order nunc pro tunc - since this was an error in the sending of the document, not in the preparation of it, I would think you could explain the error and request that the court record reflect the facts.

It turns out that the witness attestation page was inadvertently left behind when we sent the documents to court.  We have the original attestation page, but now that the will has been filed with the court, I’m not sure of the best way to “add” the page that should have been there in the first place.  Would a declaration from the drafting attorney or one/both of the witnesses be required?  Is there another way?
