The witnesses don’t actually have to see the testator read the will before they sign it. Typically, the document is first read and approved by the testator. Then, the notary gathers the testator and witnesses together to sign and date the document. Best practice dictates that each page of the document be dated.
It’s important to note that the state of Louisiana takes these signatures, especially that of the testator very seriously. The Louisiana courts have stated “Signatures to obligations are not mere ornaments. If a party can read, it behooves him to examine and instrument before signing it.”
