<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Deceased has a Last Will and Testament that was prepared by a Portland, Oregon attorney in 1996. For the last two years, the deceased was living in Washington state so the Will is going to be probated in
Washington. The Will has two witness signatures, but no self-proving affidavit. It doesn’t look like Oregon law requires one, but I figured I better check with the experts on this listserv about that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If it isn’t required, is there some additional language I should be putting in my petition about that?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
