<DIV>I haven't done a will in years, but my only concern was if the estate has
to be probated in another jurisdiction, do you want to have to go through the
rigmarole of proving up <BR>WA law. So I went back to witness affidavits
in most cases. </DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Just curious if any of you for
your wills, for the self-proving affidavit, use a declaration without a
notary?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I have seen that to satisfy RCW
11.20.020 for a self-proving affidavit for a will, instead of the more
traditional affidavit with two witness and a notary, just having a declaration
with the two witness signatures. Pursuant to RCW 9A.72.085 the witnesses need to
declare under penalty of perjury under the law of the State of Washington true
and correct…, but it seems if this is satisfied, no notary is required for the
affidavit.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
