Do I Need to Have My Will docHubd? No, in Pennsylvania, you do not need to docHub your will to make it legal. However, you must go to a notary to make your will self-proving, see above.
A will generally only needs to be filed with the county if there are probate assets; i.e. money or property that are in the deceased persons name alone, with no joint owners or named beneficiaries.
There is a cost for the Register of Wills services: a typical estate having less than $200,000 in value would be between $500 and $600. Another cost of probate is the requirement that the executor give notice of the filing of the estate in the newspaper. This fee is generally between $100 and $150.
Do I need a lawyer to write a will in Pennsylvania? In a word, no. Pennsylvania law does not require that an attorney draft your will. But because they are often complex documents with lots of elements to consider, having an attorney can help make sure your will is legally valid.
In Pennsylvania, the law requires that the testator be at least 18 years old and of sound mind (mentally competent). In addition, the testator must declare that the will is his or hers in front of two witnesses -- and these witnesses must then sign the will in front of the testator.

Diminished or Lack of Testamentary Capacity. The testator must be 18 years of age and of sound mind to make a will. If the testator is not 18 or if the testator is not of sound mind, then the will is not valid.
Handwritten or typed The law only states that, to be legal, your will must be in writing. It does not distinguish between typewritten and handwritten. So, a handwritten will, under the law, will stand up in court, and a judge will recognize it as legal as long as it meets all the other requirements.
In Pennsylvania, living persons do NOT have wills registered and stored by the county Register of Wills.
Does the Register of Wills have my will on file? In Pennsylvania, living persons do NOT have wills registered and stored by the county Register of Wills.
In Pennsylvania, the law requires that the testator be at least 18 years old and of sound mind (mentally competent). In addition, the testator must declare that the will is his or hers in front of two witnesses -- and these witnesses must then sign the will in front of the testator.
