Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York

Re: will signing

The purpose of having the Will notarized, using a special form, as NY is very particular about the language used, is to simplify the Will's being probated when the maker dies. This is usually referenced to as a "self-proving Will", and does not require that one of the witnesses be present at the time of probate to verify that all requirements of law were met. I strongly suggest that it be notarized, using the proper form, as this will ease the process and could probably save some money as well. Contact me directly if you require more information or assistance.
