In Hawaii, a will does not have to be notarized. However, a self-proving affidavit can be added to make the will "self-proving." A self-proving affidavit is a sworn statement signed by the testator and witnesses in the presence of a notary public, affirming that the will is valid. This can help streamline the probate process, as the court will not need to contact the witnesses to confirm the will's validity.

In Hawaii, a will must be signed by at least two witnesses who are at least 18 years old, of sound mind, and not named as beneficiaries in the will. Witnesses must be present when the testator signs the will and must sign the will in the presence of the testator and each other.
