(207) Witnessing and attestation
N.D. Cent. Code § 59-22-09
in effect59-22-09. (207) Witnessing and attestation
1. If any other provision of law bases the validity of a nontestamentary estate planning
document on whether the document is signed, witnessed, or attested by another
individual, the signature, witnessing, or attestation of that individual may be electronic.
2. As used in this subsection, "electronic presence" means two or more individuals in
different locations are able to communicate in real time to the same extent as if the
individuals were physically present in the same location. If any other provision of law
bases the validity of a nontestamentary estate planning document on whether the
document is signed, witnessed, or attested by another individual in the presence of the
individual signing the document, the presence requirement is satisfied if the individuals
are in each other's electronic presence.
