Delaware Self-Proving Affidavit Form

Updated July 18, 2023

A Delaware self-proving affidavit is a written statement that can be incorporated in or attached to a last will and testament to prove that the will is legal and accurate. Completion of the affidavit ensures the testator (creator of will) that the probate court will accept their last will and testament without question. Consequently, the testator’s witnesses will have no obligation to appear in court after the testator’s death to affirm the validity of the will. The affidavit may be executed by a testator simultaneously with their will or at a subsequent date during their lifetime. When completing the document, the testator and two (2) witnesses must appear before a notary public and provide their signatures in the applicable areas to validate the accuracy of the statements made in the last will and testament.
