I believe your witnesses are not supposed - sm
to be beneficiaries of the will. As for 2 witnesses, I always thought it was 1 witness. But I just looked at my will and it had 2 witnesses, 1 was the lawyer and the other someone from his staff. Banks notorize too, I'd call your bank and ask if they would witness the will and notorize it too. That would be the easier route I would think, and I am sure they are probably used to such requests.

Not trying to reconcile. Trying to get witnesses (sm)
I know my husband well enough to know that he wants the people at church to think he is a good guy. He will be more agreeable if they talk to him, because he wants to save face. You are entitled to your opinion. You have no idea what you are even talking about. Every situation is different. I am trying not to provoke him to make us end up on the front page. But thanks for your two cents. Your check is in the mail.

Probably Jehovah's Witnesses . I think they wear skirts too...

Yes, very good idea and GET WITNESSES on yiour side...nm
