Document background
The Affidavit of Witness to a Will is a critical document required during probate proceedings in Singapore. When a testator passes away, this affidavit helps establish the validity of their will by providing sworn testimony from an original witness. The document includes details about the will execution date, location, the testator's mental state, and confirmation that all legal requirements under Singapore's Wills Act were met. This affidavit is particularly important when questions arise about the will's validity or when significant time has passed since the will's execution.
