3. What is the purpose of a self-proof affidavit?
What will be an ideal response?
The affidavit negates the necessity of witnesses to testify in open court or sign an affidavit or oath when the will is offered for probate. Once in my practice, we probated a 35 year old will without an affidavit, which was common in the 1960s. It took an additional 4 months to get the will admitted to probate because of the difficulty in finding the witnesses. Witnesses can be deceased or disabled. In states that require testimony in open court, it can be costly. In our case, we found our witness in Illinois for a Florida probate. Florida allows the witness to sign an affidavit. However, if it had been a West Virginia or Virginia probate, the witness would be required to testify in person.
