A Nevada self-proving affidavit form provides proof of validity to an individual’s last will and testament. After drafting the will, the testator (individual creating will) can download the Nevada self-proving affidavit and attach it thereto. To execute the affidavit, the testator must have two (2) witnesses and a notary public sign the document. The witnesses are there to attest to the testator’s competence and free choice in signing the document. After the testator’s death, their will must be reviewed by probate court before their estate can be distributed to the named beneficiaries. If the will contains a self-proving affidavit, the court will not have to call upon the witnesses to appear before them to verify the legitimacy of the will.
