Self-proving Affidavit Form - Rhode Island

Although not legally required, a Rhode Island Self-Proving Affidavit Form serves to show the courts that a will that ends up with the court is actually real and that it was signed in agreement with all local state laws. The form should be attached to the will that it concerns.

By creating a Rhode Island Self-Proving Affidavit, the time taken for the will to be looked at in court will be lessened to a large extent. This means that any heirs listed in the will, will be able to inherit their assets much faster. In Rhode Island, there should be at least one witness during the process as well as a public notary to finalize the notarization. Even though this document is not necessarily required on a legal level, it would still be worth forming it in order to minimize any future conflicts that could occur in cases when other parties may want to contest the will.
