his own estimation; but, wherever there are erasures or
interlineations, one becomes necessary. No particular form is
prescribed; but it should state that the testator either signed it
himself, or that another signed it by his request, or that he
acknowledged the signature to be his in their presence, both being
present together, and signed as witnesses in his presence. When there
are erasures, the attestation must declare that--The words interlined in
the third line of page 4, and the erasure in the fifth line of page 6,
having been first made. These are the acts necessary to make a properly
executed will; and, being simple in themselves and easily performed,
they should be strictly complied with, and always attested.

2751. A witness may, on being requested, sign for testator; and he may
also sign for his fellow-witness, supposing he can only make his mark,
declaring that he does so; but a husband cannot sign for his wife,
either as testator or witness, nor can a wife for her husband.
