Proper execution of a will is crucial to its validity. In many states, including South Carolina, a will that is formally executed in front of witnesses and with all signatures notarized is considered “self-proving.” This self-proving status allows the will to be admitted to probate without the need for additional witness testimony or proof. It’s important to adhere to the required formalities, as addressing a challenge to a will’s validity can be costly and difficult. Nantz Law’s experienced attorneys in South Carolina, particularly in Rock Hill and Charleston, can assist you in executing a valid will, ensuring your intentions are accurately documented.
