Best Answer

yes they can

Added: Umm-m-m-m ... in most case, yes they can - but under certain circumstances using a relative as a witness could prove problematic - ESPECIALLY if the relative/witness is a beneficiary of whatever it is that they are witnessing. In such case it would probably be best to get an independent witness to your signature.

Yes, a relative can be used as a witness. However, their credibility and impartiality may be questioned due to their personal relationship with the parties involved. It is essential to assess whether the relative's testimony is relevant and reliable in the legal proceeding.
