Self-proving Affidavit Form - Massachusetts

Individuals based in Massachusetts may use a Massachusetts Self-Proving Affidavit Form in order to confirm a person’s final will. The confirmation covers the authenticity of the will as well as the fact that the person signing the will did so on a voluntary basis. The main advantage of the document is that it can be used to speed up the probate process which can take up a lot of time.

As the Massachusetts Self-Proving Affidavit requires witnesses to sign the form, these witnesses will not need to turn up to court after the death of the individual that created the will. In Massachusetts, the law requires two people to carry out this function. They, together with the person creating the will must all sign before a notary public. After this, the notary will legally notarize the document and once this is done the Self-Proving Affidavit can be bound to the will.
