Proof of Will by Subscribing Witness
Legacywyse gives you everything a first-time executor needs: the recommended probate process for your situation, realistic costs and timelines, and pre-filled court documents — including the proof of will by subscribing witness.
Start the questionnaireDirect answer
Used when the will doesn't have the notarized witness page at the end. One of the people who watched the will being signed swears under oath — either in court or with this notarized form — that the will is genuine. Without this (or the notarized witness page), the judge will not make the will official.
Signatures
