        NOTES:

        -this affidavit has many blanks, and I have not noted all of same 
in the left margin.

        -use also where the testator signed with a mark or was blind:
        "That previously to the execution of the will by the testator, the 
will was read over to the testator by me (or by the person who did so read in 
your presence), and the testator at that time had a knowledge of its contents 
and appeared perfectly to understand the will.

        -use where the will was signed by a third party for and on behalf of 
the testator at this request, change paragraph #2. to read, in part:
        "by _________________________ signing the name of the testator to the 
will at the request of, and in the presence of, the testator, who was 
physically unable to sign his/her name or make his/her mark."

        -this affidavit can be used for a codicil, but change the work 'will' 
to 'codicil" where found.

        -this affidavit can also be used after the death of the testator, if 
you change the word "know' in paragraph 1. to "knew'; and also add the word 
"deceased" at the end of paragraph 1.
