Plaintiff must have an original notarized “wet ink” COJ affidavit from the defendant. The specific requirements for COJ in NY are specified in Civil Procedure Law & Rules (CPLR) 3218. However, if the buyer/customer fails to perform the seller may obtain entry of the COJ without the need to bring a lawsuit to determine liability. If the buyer/customer performs as agreed neither the guaranty nor the COJ will be needed. To avoid the need to have to bring a lawsuit to enforce the personal guaranty, the seller of goods or provider of services may require that the personal guaranty be backstopped by a COJ of the guarantor. For example, if a business is providing goods or services to another business on credit terms, but is not satisfied with the credit worthiness (either because the business had bad credit or was a start-up business without a credit history), the seller of the goods or provider of the services can demand a personal guaranty from one or more of the principals of the buyer. In terms of a contingent liability, a COJ can be used to secure a personal guaranty. If the account debtor fails to pay as agreed the COJ can then be entered as a judgment and once entered enforced like any other judgment. Typically, a COJ might be used to backstop a settlement agreement where a creditor has permitted an account debtor to repay the debt over time in a payment plan. The COJ can either be for money currently due or becoming due in the future, or to secure the plaintiff against a contingent liability.

Essentially anyone who has something to gain by the document should not be a witness to it. It cannot be witnessed by anyone in the family or anyone who is mentioned in the will.

So if we’re talking about a standard client executing a will with an estate planning attorney, then it should be type written, the testator or the individual who is signing their will should sign at the end of the document and it should be witnessed by two disinterested witnesses. Those exceptions also have an expiration date where that will is only good for a certain amount of time. Those exceptions are very specific to armed forces during times of conflict and mariners who are at sea.

One requirement is that is has to be type written, with very few exceptions, a verbal will or a handwritten will, will not be accepted by the courts.
