Witnessing your Will or Codicil
You still need 2 witnesses to be in your presence when you physically sign your will or codicil. You need to be very careful to sign and witness your document correctly. So you need to think how you can do this properly and still comply with the health guidelines on social-distancing.
One suggestion is to find a couple of local friends or neighbours who can come to the outside of your house, if you set up a small table on the front garden. Sign your document in their presence. They can stand at least 2 metres away while you do. They can then, one at a time, sign the document as witness and can use their own pens. You should all wash your hands before and afterwards.
As with all wills and codicils, the 2 witnesses should be:
- aged 18 or more and
- not beneficiaries under your will or codicil.
The written guide that comes with the will or codicil template tells you how to have the document signed and witnessed properly.
