Many states require only two witnesses, but the signature of a third witness provides some protection against the possibility that one of the witness' signature will be invalid for some reason. For example, a person should not be a witness if that person is a beneficiary under the Will or the Addendum. In most states, if a beneficiary's signature is counted in order to satisfy the minimum number of witnesses, then the Will or Addendum is not necessarily invalidated, but that "interested witness" may not receive a share of the estate any larger than if the Will writer had died without a will.Vermont requires three witnesses.
