New York S10684 allows wills to be valid if witnesses sign within 30 days, regardless of testator's life status.
New York S10684 amends the estates, powers and trusts law to allow a testator's will to be valid if attesting witnesses sign within 30 days, even if the testator is not alive at the time of signing. The bill specifies that there must be at least two attesting witnesses who attest to the testator's signature within this timeframe. The law presumes the 30-day requirement is met, and failure of a witness to affix their address does not affect the will's validity.
