Who can make a will?
Any person of full age and sound mind.[1]
Signing Requirements
Must be signed by two competent witnesses in the presence of the testator and in the presence of each other, physically or electronically.[2]
The witnesses must each be at least 16 years old and generally competent.[3] A will is not invalidated if one of the witnesses is an interested party, though that witness may forfeit their portion of the inheritance.[4]
State Definition
“Will” includes codicil; it also includes a testamentary instrument that merely appoints an executor, and a testamentary instrument that revokes or revives another will.[5]
