This document serves to provide important information related to the verification requirements for a Last Will and Testament in the state of Hawaii. Verification of a Last Will and Testament is an essential step in the probate process to ensure the legal validity and enforceability of the document. In Hawaii, several types of verification letters may be required, including: 1. Verification Letter for Last Will and Testament executed by a competent individual: This type of verification letter is used when the Testator, at the time of executing the will, was of sound mind, free from undue influence, and possessed the legal capacity to create and sign the will. The verification should include the Testator's full name, date of execution, signatures of witnesses, and the notary acknowledgment if available. 2. Verification Letter for Last Will and Testament executed without witnesses: In some cases, a Last Will and Testament may be executed without the presence of witnesses. However, Hawaii law allows for a self-proving affidavit to be executed simultaneously with the will, which serves as a verification mechanism. It is crucial to include the self-proving affidavit as part of the verification letter. 3. Verification Letter for Last Will and Testament executed as a holographic will: If the Last Will and Testament in question was entirely handwritten by the Testator (a holographic will), it may require specialized verification. The verification letter should include the original handwritten will, a statement affirming the handwriting as that of the Testator, and any identifiable characteristics of the Testator's handwriting. Please note that the verification process must be conducted diligently and in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. It is advisable to consult with a qualified attorney or legal professional familiar with Hawaii estate laws to ensure compliance and accuracy throughout the verification procedure.
