An Idaho last will and testament is a document used by the testator (person to whom the will belongs) to ensure that their personal, real, and digital property, as well as any fiduciary accounts, are properly distributed after their death. An individual can draft a will in order to document who shall receive all or a portion of their estate upon death. In Idaho, wills must be signed by two (2) witnesses who observed the testator sign the document. Though optional, a testator can have the document notarized for additional legal protection.
