What is a self-proof affidavit and what effect does it have?
What will be an ideal response?
A document that is attached to a will, a self-proof affidavit or clause substitutes for the testimony of a witness when the testator dies and the will is admitted to probate. It is a swearing under penalty that the witness, at the time of the execution of the will, attested to the testator’s signature and subscribed his own signature at that time and that to his knowledge, the testator had testamentary capacity and intent and that the will was executed properly. Without this affidavit, witnesses may either have to physically come to court or swear to a written deposition. This is problematic when witnesses can not be found, or it is determined that the witness or witnesses have died, or are uncooperative.
