Proof of Will - Self-Proving – This form is used when the Court determines that the execution of the will complies with Section 43-8-132 Code of Alabama of 1975, as amended, and that the will is therefore self-proving and that further proof of proper execution by the decedent by actual testimony is not required. Proof of Will - Non-Self-Proving – This form is used when the Court determines that the execution of the will does not comply with Section 43-8-132 Code of Alabama of 1975, as amended, and that the will is therefore not self-proving and that further proof of proper execution by the decedent by actual testimony is required. Order Probating Will - This form is an order declaring the instrument in writing which was filed for probate to be the Last Will and Testament of the deceased, and that the same be admitted to probate and record.

Letters Testamentary - This form is issued by the probate court to the individual appointed to administer the estate as documentation of that individual's authority to act on behalf of the estate. Letters Testamentary with Certificate of Judge - This form is issued by a judge stating that the will of the deceased, has been admitted to record and the letters testamentary are granted to the Personal Representative named in the will, and he/she is authorized to execute the will.

TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS The form(s) in this packet may contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat (“.pdf” format). “Form fields” facilitate completion of the forms using your computer. They do not limit your ability to print the form “in blank” and complete with a typewriter or by hand. It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. Go to the View menu, click on Toolbars, and then select Forms. This will open the Forms toolbar. Look for the button on the Forms toolbar that resembles a shaded letter “a”. Click this button and the form fields will be visible. By clicking on the appropriate form field, you will be able to enter the needed information. In some instances, the form field and the line will disappear after information is entered. In other cases, it will not. The form was created to function in this manner. V.
