In Florida a self-proving affidavit is the attached statement notarized and witnessed
that the will was executed according to FL law, which affidavit avoid the requirement
later perhaps requiring proof that the will was executed, finding the witnesses, etc.,
both in FL and other states. So a FL will should be self-proved.
