Will witnesses could sign even after the will maker dies

At least two witnesses would confirm the will maker’s signature and sign the will within the same 30-day period. These rules would cover witnesses to wills in New York, whether the person who made the will is alive or dead when they confirm the signature. The will maker must have signed or acknowledged their signature in the witnesses’ presence and asked them to sign. The 30-day requirement would be treated as met unless evidence shows otherwise. Witnesses would add their home addresses, but a missing witness address would not make the will invalid. The bill would take effect immediately if it becomes law.
