Q. Vermont. Three siblings. One won't attest to a will filed in Windsor county. How to proceed?

November 5, 2021

A: If the will was signed with a self-proving affidavit, no witness is required. If not, one witness needs to testify in court that the decedent signed the will freely and voluntarily, appeared to have capacity to sign the will and no one coerced the decedent to sign the will.
