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. 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.
