Supreme Court of Alabama

Janice Pickens v. Estate of Donald Harrison Fenn

September 29, 2017251 So. 3d 34

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court held that a notary public’s signature on a will, even when made in the notary’s official capacity, satisfies the statutory requirement that the will be signed by at least two witnesses under § 43‑8‑131, Ala. Code 1975, and therefore reversed the probate court’s denial and remanded for admission of the will.
