		<description><![CDATA[Witnesses at a will signing attest the will. Attestation means the act of witnessing the performance of the statutory requirements to a valid execution of the will. Those statutory requirements do not include publication of a will&#8217;s contents or, for that reason, that the witnesses know that they are signing a will. &#8220;Publication,&#8221; in relation [...]]]></description>
