FAQ

It must be in writing. (Older ones might have been typed on a typewriter.) It's possible, however, to have a valid will that is entirely handwritten.

No, in Indiana, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal. However, Indiana allows you to make your will "self-proving." A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.

We practice law in the state of Indiana. For a will to be valid in our state, the testator must sign the will in the presence of two witnesses, and the witnesses must also sign the document. The will can be valid even if it is not notarized.

Indiana will also recognize the handwritten will, but only if it meets the Indiana's legal standards. In other words, the handwritten will must be executed and witnessed correctly by two preferably disinterested witnesses. Indiana will not invalidate a will simply because it has been handwritten.

Notarization is not required in California to make your will legal. Some states allow you to make your will self-proving by signing a special affidavit in front of a notary that accompanies the will. However, California allows your will to be self-proved without a self-proving affidavit.

Indiana does not permit holographic (handwritten) wills.

Be competent; Voluntarily want to do the living will; and. Sign in the presence of two witnesses who are competent and at least 18 years old. (If you are unable to sign yourself, you can direct someone to sign for you while you watch).

For a will to be considered valid under Indiana inheritance laws, it must not only be handwritten or printed, but also contain the decedent's signature along with those of two witnesses. Should a decedent be physically unable to sign his or her will prior to passing away, another person can sign for him or her.
