Self-proving Affidavit Form - Mississippi

A Mississippi Self-Proving Affidavit Form is a legal document that confirms which witnesses were present when an individual created a will. The purpose of this is for the witnesses to confirm that the individual was not forced to sign anything and that they were in the appropriate state of mind. This is a useful confirmation as when the individual passes and the will reaches the court, the probate procedure will be carried out much faster as the judge already has witness confirmation. This means that witnesses that sign the Mississippi Self-Proving Affidavit will not need to appear in court.

The local laws in Mississippi state that there should be two witnesses that need to sign before a notary public. The individual signing the will should also do the same. Without this document in place, the probate procedure will be extended significantly and it could result in third parties contesting the will.
