Attestation Clause This refers to the language in a will that precedes the witness signatures. If it is properly worded the witnesses will not have to appear in court to testify about the will when it is offered for probate, unless what they say in the clause is contested. Generally, in Illinois they have to say under oath that they witnessed the signing of the will at the testator's request in the presence of each other (or they witnessed someone sign the will for the testator at the testator's direction, or that the testator told them, together, that the signature on the will was the testator's) and that they believed the testator to be of sound mind and memory. || Back to List of Topics ||
