What Makes A Will Valid?
- It must be in writing.
- It must be signed by the person making the Will, the testator (or signed on the testator’s behalf in his or her presence and by his or her direction).
- The signing must be done in the presence of two independent witnesses who must not benefit under the terms of the Will, who then sign the Will in the presence of the testator.
If a Will is not valid, then that Willis disregarded and the deceased person’s property is distributed in accordance with the Intestacy Rules.
