Does a will in KY need to be docHubd?

No, in Kentucky, you dont need to docHub your will to make it legal. However, Kentucky 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.

What is the biggest mistake with wills?

If your language is ambiguous or your intentions are not clear it could lead to instructions not being followed properly or the will being ruled invalid. Ensure you seek professional advice when writing a will, and that all of the proper steps are taken, including having the will witnessed.
