At the time you are signing your will you are to state to the witnesses that you are signing your will.
Item 1: Print your name Item 2: Cross out any of the statements that do not reflect your wishes Item 3: Write in any personal instructions Item 4: Date and sign the document and include your address Item 5: Two witnesses must sign the document and print their addresses.
