Your will is valid without an affidavit of execution because it is not legally required to have one. However, the court will want an affidavit of execution if your will needs to go through probate (the procedure in which the court formally recognizes your will as legally legitimate).

It may be challenging to locate one of the witnesses to sign an affidavit of execution if one is not completed when the will is witnessed, particularly if a lot of time has gone since the will was signed and witnessed. To save you and your loved one’s time, trouble, and stress when your will is most required, we complete an affidavit of execution for every will we remotely witness.
