If a will is witnessed by an interested beneficiary, which statement is true?

Explanation:
An interested witness does not invalidate a will. If a beneficiary also serves as a witness, the will itself remains valid; the consequence is that the bequest to that witness is not enforceable to the extent of the witness’s interest. The rest of the will stands as written, and only the gift to the interested witness is affected.
