Legalization of a Will

Write out your Will then sign your Will. You MUST have at least two witnesses present and watching while you and the other witnesses sign your Will. You and the witnesses should then initial the bottom right hand corner of each page of the Will. The witnesses do NOT need to be lawyers and do not need to read your Will. Witnesses must be adults. Do not choose a person who is receiving something in your Will as a witness. Do not choose someone whose spouse is receiving something in your Will as a witness. Store your Will in a safe place. Let someone you trust (i.e., your executor) know where your Will is stored.
