presence of the testator rule

presence-of-the-testator rule. The principle that a testator must be aware (through sight or other sense) that the witnesses are signing the will. • Many jurisdictions interpret this requirement liberally, and the Uniform Probate Code has dispensed with it. [Cases: Wills 117. C.J.S. Wills §§ 285–293.]
