Hi all. My dear old Mum passed away a couple of days before Christmas (aged 93), leaving a legal will naming my brother and i as executors. The will is simple and uncontested.
I am in the process of completing probate documents and need advice on who can witness my brothers signature as he is in America (his wife is working over there) and he won't be back until the end of the year. We have both downloaded FAQ from the probate website and we have read the Oaths, Affidavits and Statutory Declaration info referred to on the Probate website. Everything refers to witnesses in Australia.
Does anybody know if it is legal to have someone in America witness his signature?
Thanks for your time.
Cheers.
