Hi. I’m Gary, the owner of DeWitt Law. We write Wills and we write Wills right. Get started at DeWitt.law.
At least once a month, I have to break the bad news to somebody that their parent’s Will is invalid for a variety of reasons. Usually it is because it was typed, not signed, and not witnessed as required by law. When this happens, it’s not a Will, but a wish list.
A Will must meet the minimum requirements set by law.
I want to go over what makes a Will valid and some things to avoid.
First, you must be over 18 years old.
