They can, but that does not mean it is prudent. Get two persons who have no interest in the Will, and have the testator and both witnesses sign before a Notary Public to make the Will "self proving". This response is to provide general information, is not legal advice, is not intended to constitute legal advice to the reader and should not be relied on as such, nor is it intended to create an attorney-client relationship. ALABAMA RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT REQUIRES THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT: "No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers."
