Self-proving Affidavit Form - Wisconsin

A Wisconsin Self-Proving Affidavit Form is a legally binding document that confirms that witnesses were present when a person was creating and signing their will. The aim of this is for the witnesses to verify that the creator was not forced to include or sign anything that they did not want to and that they were in a healthy state of mind. This confirmation is crucial when the individual passes away and the will reaches the court. The probate process will be done much quicker as the judge will already have validation from the witnesses. This also means that witnesses that sign the Wisconsin Self-Proving Affidavit will not need to come to the court physically.

The laws in Wisconsin state that there ought to be two witnesses to sign before the notary public. The person creating the will should also do the same. Without this document in place, the probate procedure will be dragged on and it could allow third parties to contest the will.
