When you sign a probate form, it means you’re swearing or affirming that the information you’re providing in the document is true. You’ll need to sign ''some'' of the probate forms in front of a lawyer, notary public, or a commissioner for taking affidavits. All court registries have a commissioner for taking affidavits, and some community groups do as well. | When you sign a probate form, it means you’re swearing or affirming that the information you’re providing in the document is true.
