Affidavit of Execution
A sworn statement from one of your witnesses confirming your will was properly signed — the document that saves your executor a headache later.
Proves proper signing
Your witness swears they watched you sign, and that you appeared to do so freely.
Smooths probate
Courts frequently ask for one. Having it ready avoids tracking down a witness years later.
Do it at signing
Far easier to complete at the moment of signing than to reconstruct afterwards.
Stored with the will
Kept in your Vault beside the will it belongs to, so your executor finds both together.
Why executors are asked for this
- Without an affidavit, the court may require a witness to be located and to swear the statement at the time of probate — sometimes years later.
- It is completed by one of the two witnesses to your will, not by you.
- It is normally sworn before a notary or commissioner for oaths.
- It does not change the terms of your will in any way; it only evidences how it was signed.
