In Virginia, a simple will can be created without an attorney by using online platforms or templates. To be valid, the will must be signed by the testator and witnessed by at least two competent individuals. Proper execution ensures the will is legally enforceable.
While many people assume a will must be registered for it to hold legal validity, registration is not actually required in Virginia. Rather, probate is the essential step. If a will never goes to probateperhaps because all assets transfer through non-probate meansit usually remains private.
