English term or phrase: Certificate for Self-Proving Will
This appears towards the end of a Will:

In Witness whereof, I, x, have signed, sealed, published and declared this to be my Last Will, consisting of 8 pages, including the page containing the signature of the Testatrix and the subscribing witnesses and the *Certificate for Self-Proving Will*, in the presence of the persons witnessing it

eidesstattliche und notariell beglaubigte Erklaerung (zur Urkundenechtheit)
Explanation:
A self-proving will, now accepted in most states, is one where, in addition to the signatures of the testator and witnesses, an affidavit is executed, attesting to the signatures. An affidavit is a sworn statement before a notary public. This affidavit makes the will "self-proving" and eliminates the need to reverify the signatures at the time of probate.

In most states it is not necessary to have a self-proving will in order for a will to be legally effective, however, it is certainly advisable.

Habe Ihre Zusatzbemerkung gelesen und erkenne durchaus Ihr Problem.

Koennte man nicht mit dem Begriff \'Rechtswirksamkeit\' eine entsprechende Wendung einsetzen??
z.B. : \'mit sofortiger Rechtswirksamkeit\'/\'mit Rechtswirksamkeit ab heutigem Datum/Urkunde zur Bestimmung der testamentarischen Rechtswirksamkeit (ohne Nachlassgericht)\'

Ansonsten komme ich nur noch auf Krasseres: \'Urkunde zur Ausschaltung/Aufhebung (der Notwendigkeit) des Nachlassgerichts\'

Oder Sie lassen das Englisch stehen und geben eine deutsche Erklaerung in Klammern an [- sicherlich alle Gedanken, die Sie schon mal hatten; sorry!].
