In estate planning, witnesses play a crucial role in validating legal documents like wills. Their primary function is to observe the testator (person making the will) signing the document and attest to the fact that the testator signed willingly and with testamentary capacity (understanding the document and its implications). Witnesses also help prevent fraud and undue influence by adding a layer of authenticity to the document.
