Re: witness
While the Virginia Code does not specifically state that family members may be witnesses, the Code does not prohibit that, and the Code does specifically state that persons with an interest in the will or the estate of the testator are competent as witnesses. In a pinch, I have used spouses or other family members as witnesses.
