Videotaped Will Execution Ceremony

In the event of a contested will, a videotaped reading of the will can establish the mental condition of the testator at the time the will was signed.

A properly prepared videotape of the will execution ceremony can provide indispensable evidence of several key factors. Among these:

- Due execution of the will
- Testamentary capacity
- Testamentary intent
- The contents of the will
- Lack of undue influence or fraud
- To assist in will interpretation and construction


Videotaping of a will execution ceremony should be performed by a professional with the proper training and equipment to produce an accurate record of the reading of the will. A professional videographer also serves as a disinterested third party in the proceedings.


Other Estate Planning Services:

Video Home Inventory – Establish the general nature and extent of your client's estate with a Video Home Inventory, a video documentation of the testator's property as described in the will.

Changes in the originally videotaped will – If the testator desires to make changes, have the codicil to the will videotaped to ensure testamentary capacity and intent are documented as in in the original will.

Day-in-the-Life and Settlement Documentaries


Day-in-the-Life Documentary

The purpose of this type of video is to demonstrate the consequential damages a plaintiff has sustained due to an incident which has caused a serious injury:

- Clearly represent how the victim's daily life has changed due to injury
- Help judges and juries accurately measure loss and damages



Settlement Documentary

With approximately 95% of all cases never reaching a courtroom, the use of a Settlement Documentary can prove invaluable in settling lawsuits during pre-trial proceedings.

- Provide emotional power not available from standard printed “settlement brochure”
- Fully represent pain and suffering to defense and insurance company
- Complete, concise summation of a case in a single convincing presentation


Day-in-the-life and Settlement Documentaries may be similar in content but unique in their application of the video footage. A meeting with Ives Video Evidence Services can help determine which type of video documentary will be right for your case.
