Montana Self-Proving Affidavit Form

Updated July 18, 2023

A Montana self-proving affidavit form is a legal document validating the legitimacy of a last will and testament. Montana law does not require will’s to be notarized; however, a self-proving affidavit is a notarized document that will speed up the probate process once the testator (creator of will) dies. To complete this type of affidavit, the testator and two (2) witnesses (preferably not involved in the will in any capacity) must appear before a notary public and sign the form. By signing the affidavit, the witnesses are affirming that the testator is executing the document of their own free will and while of sound mind. Once the testator dies, the will must go through probate court, but with a self-proving affidavit attached thereto, the witnesses will not be required to personally appear.
