I don't see how having two witnesses signing your testament magically gives away your name or address or any other such info, but then I am not a lawyer. Oh, wait, I am, but not a Swedish one it's true, so I rest my case.

Now, I may not be totally accurate, but my understanding of the process is that in Sweden when something is witnessed for a legal document, it is entered into public record as proof, and that as part of that record is means of contact for the people involved for verification that they're who they claim to be (so there isn't a bogus witness, or for going after those who bore false witness).
