How do I make my Will official or legal? |
|
Planning for Your Will. If you are married or single, if you have children or relatives, you need a will. If you have charitable causes you want to help perpetuate, you need a will. If you own a home or have a bank account, stocks or any other kind of property, you need a will. Having your will prepared by an attorney and executed according to state guidelines is essential. Several steps are necessary for a will to be legal. • It should be in writing. • It should be signed by the one creating the will. • It should be acknowledged to be the will of the person who signs it. • It should be dated. People who are not beneficiaries of the will must witness the signature of the person who creates the will. They must also sign it as witnesses. Also, if a will is notarized by a third witness it makes the process of probating the Will much easier. Start your legal will now
