witness or verification witness
An 'interested' witness is one who has some kind of material stake in the outcome of the case and may not necessarily be an un-biased witness.
The only responsibility of a signature witness is to verify that the correct person is signing the document. The person must physically sign the document while the witness is watching.
It means the person signing the document avows that they ARE that person and they acknowledge the contents of whatever it is that is in the document they are signing.

No. The will should not be witnessed by any party to the will. That could leave the will open to challenge.
Generally in the United States, if the signing of a document requires a witness, it should state that it needs to be notarized. To have a document notorized is to have a Notary Public confirm by his/her seal that he/she witnessed the signing of the document and confirmed the signer's identification. (So never sign a document before taking it to be notarized, because the Notary Public has to witness the signing.) (Sorry, I don't know how or if it is done differently outside the US.)
You are a witness to the signing of a signature on the document and nothing else, (unless it is stated that you are a witness to something else involved with the legal matter directly above where you will sign the document as the witness.)You do not have to know what the document says, what or who it is about, or anything else about the document in order to be a witness to the signing of the document.You are only a witness to the 'original signature' that was signed on the document and could be asked to verify the original signature, as well as your own signature, by anyone involved in the legal process.I would recommend you Do Not ever sign as a witness unless you are certain the signature is valid and it was signed in front of you.
Anyone who actually witnesses the person signing can be a signature witness. Only a notary can notarize the signature, and only if the document is signed in front of them.
Yes, providing they are still living. However, the only thing they can legally witness is that they properly verified the signature(s) that appear on the will.
