Admissibility of foreign notarization of Massachusetts self-proving affidavit attached to will.
Living abroad far from U.S. Consulate, I can only obtain a notarization on the Massachusetts self-proving affidavit from a local, non-U.S. notary. Does the Massachusetts law, Massachusetts General Laws, Part III, Title II, Ch. 233, Sec. 73 (https://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/233-73.htm), mean that this foreign notarization will be sufficient validation for the affidavit?
