Self-proving Affidavit Form - Maine

By using a Maine Self-Proving Affidavit Form , any individual that wishes to verify their will on a legal level can do so by filling in the form and signing it accordingly. The aim of the document is to confirm the genuineness, as well as verifying the fact that the person forming the will was not under duress and created the will as they desired. By doing so, any parties that may want to question the will, will not be able to do so. The document also fast-tracks the will in court by speeding up the probate process. In addition, any witnesses who signed the document will not need to attend court – which is another factor that can sometimes prolong a court’s decision in regards to the implementation of a will.

Before signing a Maine Self-Proving Affidavit, you need to ensure that you have two people that you trust to act as witnesses as well as a notary public. The two witnesses must first observe the creator of the will signing the document and then add their signatures themselves – all before a notary public.
