 I just ran into this situation....
Posted by Linda_H/FL on 2/3/19 11:26am

Had a GNW appointment at the V.A. - doc preparer (buddy of vet in hospice) said he'd had docs prepared with guidance from an attorney, and that attorney told him HE could be a witness, even though he was named in the will. Well, I expressed my doubts but hey, he talked to an attorney so who am I to argue?

Talked to one of the attorneys I work for - she said no - he can't be a witness...

Now today, google search, I find the wording and Probate Code I quoted. Guess you're never too old to learn - or too educated.

Now, is it legal to do it? Yes... Is it best practice and a good idea? IMO absolutely not.
