Rule 11 Proof of Execution of Will

To prove the valid execution of a will, the capacity of the testator to execute the will and the voluntariness of the execution, one of the attesting witnesses to the will must testify as to those facts at the hearing on the probate of the will. In the event that neither attesting witness is available, an affidavit may be substituted. If both attesting witnesses are dead or unlocatable, the Court may accept whatever extrinsic evidence as to the validity of the will as the Court deems appropriate.
