Yes. Connecticut allows you to make a will. You do not have to use an attorney to draft your will. If you have a simple estate, know what property you own and who you want to receive the property, then you are ready to make your will.
The Electronic Estate Planning Document Act facilitates the cre- ation of all estate planning documents, except wills, in electronic form. The Act does not change the state law requirements for val- idly signing and witnessing these documents. It simply makes it easier to execute estate planning documents.
Age: The testator must be at least 18 years old. Capacity: The testator must be of sound mind. Signature: The will must be signed by the testator. Witnesses: At least two witnesses must sign a Connecticut last will and testament in the presence of the testator in order for it to be valid.
Technically, a handwritten will can still meet the requirements of having two witnesses and the testators signatures (properly executed) and be a valid will. However, the handwritten will thats signed by the testator alone is not enough to be valid in Connecticut, although it is in other states, such as Texas.
In Connecticut, your will must be in writing.

A will or codicil shall not be valid to pass any property unless it is in writing, subscribed by the testator and attested by two witnesses, each of them subscribing in the testators presence; but any will executed ing to the laws of the state or country where it was executed may be admitted to probate in this
No. Connecticut does not require a will to be notarized to be valid. However, if the testator and witnesses sign the will in the presence of a notary who then notarizes the will, it is considered a self-proved will and there is no need to prove the will during probate, thereby speeding up the probate process.
