Creating your Will online is the modern preferred way to ensure that your Will is up to date. A will is made legal by meeting specific statutory requirements, which generally include:
In Writing:
The Will must be a physical document.
This usually written on paper. Blank Wills forms can be bought in stationary shops or you can literally use a napkin as long the Will is Signed by the Testor, has a executor and singe buy a witness.
Signed by the Testator: The person making the Will (testator) must sign it, or direct someone else to sign it on their behalf, in their presence.
Witnessed:
The testator’s signature must be made or acknowledged in the presence of at least two competent witnesses.
Witnesses Signed: The witnesses must then sign the Will in the testator’s presence (and often in each other’s presence).
