Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Yes, a Will is still valid today, even if the witneses are now deceased....provided that they were alive when they signed ;)

If the Will has a 'self-proving affidavit' then the fact that the witnesses are deceased will make no difference when probating the Will. However, if the Will is not self-proving, then you will need to verify that the witnesses are deceased.

Yes. but it might make it harder to prove the Will, in some circumstances. Call me if you would like to talk it over. 201 820 3460.

If it is a proper self-proving Will, with correct language, there should be no problems.I have had instances where the Will did not have self-proving language and it was still probated. Call me at 973-377-3313 if you want to discuss this.
