Existing law requires, for a statutory will to be properly executed that the testator complete the appropriate blanks and sign the will and that 2 witnesses observe the testator's signing and each witness sign his or her name in the presence of the testator. However, the form used for a statutory will also requires the witnesses to sign in each other's presence. This bill would delete this latter requirement from the form. The bill would add to the form a notice that the notarization would not fulfill the witness requirement. The bill would additionally change the form to account for a guardianship of a child born after the date the will is executed. This bill would also make other technical and conforming changes.
