Write notes on Attestation of a Will.
Answer & Explanation:
The Will must be attested by two or more witnesses by complying with the following requirements: Each of them must have seen the testator sign or affix his mark to the Will or has seen some other person sign the Will, in the presence and by the direction of the testator, or Each witness has received from the testator a personal acknowledgment of his signature or mark, or of the signature of such other person; and Each witness must sign the Will in the presence of the testator. However it is not necessary that more than one witness must be present at the same time, and no particular form of attestation is necessary. The witness as required for the purpose of attestation should be competent to sign a Will.
