No. You only need to sign your will in front of two witnesses and your witnesses must also sign your will.
However, Oregon allows you to make your will “self-proving.” A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.
To make your will "self-proving" you and your witnesses must go to a notary and sign an affidavit that proves who you are and that each of you knew you were signing the will.
