You just need one witness to ‘testify’, either by declaration or orally.  Find one of them.

Subject: [WSBAPT] will w/ blank affidavit

Hi Listmates,

What do you typically do when there is a last will and testament that has a witness affidavit attached but the notary block is blank?

My first thought was to track down the witnesses and get statements but this is proving to be a little harder than expected. The attorney who drafted the will is retired and not sure where they are currently.

Would love to get the list's thoughts and suggestions on this.

Thank you!

Harkiran
