Swiss Civil Code

¹ If the test­at­or does not read and sign the deed, the of­fi­cial must read it out in the pres­ence of the two wit­nesses and the test­at­or, who must then de­clare that the deed con­tains his or her will.

² In this case the wit­nesses must not only at­test to the test­at­or’s de­clar­a­tion and their judg­ment con­cern­ing his or her ca­pa­city of dis­pos­i­tion but must also con­firm, by ap­pend­ing their sig­na­tures, that the deed was read out to the test­at­or by the of­fi­cial in their pres­ence.
