Rule 903. Subscribing Witnesses' Testimony

The testimony of a subscribing witness is not necessary to authenticate a writing unless required by statute.

Committee Notes

Advisory Commission Comments.

In will contests, T.C.A. § 32-4-105 requires calling subscribing witnesses to a will.

Advisory Commission Comment [2010].

The title of the rule is changed to reflect reality. A Tennessee statute does not necessitate testimony of all living witnesses in a will contest "if to be found." T.C.A. § 32-4-105.
