A Will is a written document that indicates how an individual desires his/her property to be distributed on his/her death. A Will is usually revocable and subject to being amended at anytime prior to death. A Will may also appoint guardians for minor children along with naming Trustees to hold assets in trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the Will. A Will may be non-self proving or self-proving. The two forms of non-self proving Wills are: (1) A holographic Will which is a Will solely in the handwriting of the testator and signed and dated by the testator; or (2) A witnessed Will in which a testator signs the Will in front of two witnesses. With these types of Wills, testimony will need to be provided at the hearing to admit the Will to probate to prove the validity of the Will. If a Will is a self-proving Will, then it is a Will signed by a testator in front of two witnesses and a notary public with the proper attestation clause attached. The validity of this type of Will does not need to be proved at a hearing to admit the Will to probate.
