Attestation Clause
The Attestation Clause
 
The Attestation clause is generally considered to be the most important clause of any Last Will & Testament. The clause is generally placed as the last clause on any will just after the testators signature.
 
The attestation clause would declare:
  • that the testator signed the Will in the presence of the witnesses or at least declared to the witnesses that the signature was that of the testator
  • that the Will was signed by the testator by his or her own free will
  • that each of the witnesses signed the will in the presence of the testator and in the presence of each other
  • that the testator was of sound mind when the will was signed
A typical example of an attestation clause would be as follows
 
"Signed by the above Testator <<<Testators name here>>> as and for his last Will and Testament in the presence of us both present at the same time together who then at his request in his presence and in the presence of each other hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses"
