[WSBARP] Will execution - valid?

[Rich McEntee]

Hello — 

I was contacted by a PC. The PC’s mother recently passed away and left a will. The will is fairly simple. However, I have concerns about its execution. From the image that I received, it appears that each page of the will was initialed and that an attached affidavit of subscribing witness was executed by the witnesses and the testatrix. The concern is that the signature and witness page of the will was not executed by either the witnesses nor the testatrix. I seem to recall that such a will may be valid. I would appreciate guidance or thoughts related to this situation and the possible probate of the will? 

Thank you —

Rich
