Do You Need To Notarize Your Death will?

Do you need to notarize your death will?

We get this question a lot. The answer is yes & no.

There are two types of wills: holographic and notarial. The difference between these two types is that holographic wills can be written by hand and left unsigned, so long as it's clear who wrote the document and when it was written. Notarial wills require an official notary seal and signature, which means they have to be signed in front of someone who's licensed to witness signatures (like a Notary), or they're invalid.

Your death will should always be signed in front of a Notary or other authorized person—it just makes sure there's proof that you intended for it to be your last will when you wrote it. That way, if something happens to you before your death, there's no question about whether or not it was validly executed at all times.
