Attestation

Attestation refers to the process of verifying and confirming the authenticity or truth of a document, statement, or fact. It typically involves an independent party, such as a notary public or an auditor, who examines the evidence and endorses the validity of the information. This process ensures trust and credibility, often required in legal, financial, or official contexts. For example, when signing a will, an attestation by witnesses can validate that the document is genuine, reflecting the true intentions of the person who created it.
