Additional Notes

You MUST have at least two witnesses present and watching you while you execute your Last Will and Testament. Each Witness must sign as a witness in your presence and in the presence of the other witness(es). 'In your presence' means actually watching them. You and the other witnesses should then initial the bottom right hand corner of each page of the will (except the page signed by all of you). Witnesses should NOT be individuals who will be receiving gifts in your will or the spouses of individuals receiving gifts in your will.

1. Execution of Your Last Will and Testament

You might want to consider making your will self proving by having your witnesses and yourself swear an oath in front of a notary public attesting to proper execution. While it is not possible in all states, this process removes the requirement of having one of your witnesses going to court to verify proper execution. If available in your state the required form will print up.
