This article appears in Volume V02, Page 882 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ATTESTATION (Lat. adtestare, attestare, to bear witness, testis, a witness) , the verification of a deed, will or Other
instrument
  by the signature to it of a
witness
  or witnesses, who endorse or subscribe their names under a memorandum, to the effect that it was signed or executed in their presence. The essence of
attestation
  is to show that at the execution of the document there was present some disinterested person capable of giving evidence as to what took
place
 . The clause at the end of the
instrument
 , immediately preceding the signatures of the witnesses to the execution, and stating that they have .witnessed it, is known as the
attestation
  clause. In Scots law, the corresponding clause is called the testing-clause (see DEED; WILL
OR TESTAMENT; WITNESS).
