No crushing required! Looks good to me. So now we’ll both be crushed if someone finds a flaw.

Sincerely,

Eric

I do not notarize my Wills.  I do a declaration of witnesses of which I am one and my assistant is the other and it should be  SELF PROVING PURSUANT TO RCW 5.50.030, 11.20.020

Here’s what it looks like, below.

Feel free to crush my soul and tell me I’ve been doing it wrong.


DECLARATION OF WITNESSES

(SELF PROVING PURSUANT TO RCW 5.50.030, 11.20.020)
