Self-proving Affidavit Form - Iowa

Using an Iowa Self-Proving Affidavit Form is beneficial for those people that want to draft up a will as the Self-Proving Affidavit seeks to confirm the legitimacy of the will. It will confirm the fact that the will was signed voluntarily and that the will is completely genuine. The importance of this should not be overlooked as without this confirmation, courts will seek to examine the will in more detail and this will lead to a far longer probate process. The longer this continues, the later the heirs will be able to collect their inherited valuables.

An Iowa Self-Proving Affidavit requires notarization and a further two people to act as witnesses. By adding their signature, witnesses also prevent themselves from attending the court once the will reaches the appropriate stage. The person who drafted the will needs to sign in front of all three individuals for the document to hold any legal weight.
