Why should a will include a self-proving affidavit?
What will be an ideal response?
This is a repeat question from chapter four but the concept is very important. While a will does not require a notary public’s affidavit, when a will is not self-proved by affidavit, at least one witness must be located and either show up in court (or at a clerk’s office) to be sworn or must fill out a sworn affidavit. This can be difficult for a number of reasons including, age and infirmity of the witness, death of a witness, inability to find the witness and refusal of the witness to appear; as well as the inability of the family to pay for the witness to appear, especially if they have to pay for transportation, food and lodging.
