sign his or he name are not discussed.

age of 18 years, may, by last will, dispose of all his or her estate, real
and personal, the same being chargeable with the payment of the testator's
debts. 133.020
Valid wills: A will shall be in writing and signed
by the testator, and attested by at least two competent witnesses who subscribe
their names to the will in the presence of the testator. 133.040
Disposition of certain tangible personal property by reference
to list or statement; requirements:
1. Whether or not the provisions relating to holographic wills apply, a will may refer to a written statement or list to dispose of items of tangible personal property not otherwise
specifically disposed of by the will, other than money, evidences of indebtedness,
documents of title, securities and property used in a trade or business.

the statement or list must contain:

to will: Any or all of the attesting witnesses to any will may sign
an affidavit before any person authorized to administer oaths in or out

in court to prove the will. The affidavit must be written on the will or,

taken before the court. The form you have found contains the approved

to make such provision; and no other evidence to rebut the presumption
of revocation shall be received. 133.110
