two witnesses, to be self proved must be notarized, I believe notarization has more requirements than just witnessing by a notary.

This is Michigan...does not have to be notarized...We really don't know all the exact writings in the will.

I think what it amounts to is using the proposed executor or the Court appointing an administrator and the distribution according to the laws of the state. Except it looks like it's equally among the children which would be the same thing.
