Wills are a technicality ridden document, with various signatures and notary blocks that must all be executed properly. Often clients of a probate attorney are very diligent in reading what they sign but often they just assume that the witnesses will sign their parts properly. This is a fatal mistake as a recent case decided in February of this year shows. The lesson is simple, if one of your witnesses messes up its your inheritance that’s at stake – measure twice, cut once.
