Handwritten Will: A will that is handwritten and signed by the testator without witnesses is known as a holographic will. Holographic wills are not legitimate in Kansas.
If there are assets to be distributed under the will, the family must file the will for probate with the Court. This involves hiring an attorney to provide the proper paperwork and instruction in the process. The Executor appointed in the will (usually a family member) must take action to keep the assets safe.
No, in Kansas, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal. However, Kansas allows you to make your will self-proving and youll need to go to a notary if you want to do that. A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.
Kansas does not permit holographic (handwritten) wills. However, it does permit nuncupative (oral) wills if you make it during a time of your last sickness, someone witnessed this, and your statements were reduced to writing and witnessed by two people.
Notary: The testator does not need a notary unless using an optional self-proving affidavit. Self-Proving Affidavit: A self-proving affidavit is a statement the testator and witnesses sign in front of a notary.
