Attestation requirement: attesting witness must be produced for admissibility unless a non-will document is registered and execution is not denied. A document required by law to be attested is not admissible until at least one attesting witness is produced to prove its execution, if such a witness is alive and capable of giving evidence. An exception removes this requirement for non-will documents that have been registered, unless the execution by the purported signatory is specifically denied.
