Does my will need to be docHubd? No, in Minnesota, you do not need to docHub your will to make it legal. But Minnesota lets you make your will self-proving. If you want to do that you need to go to a notary. A self-proving will helps prove that your will is valid if it is contested in court.
The will must be in writing; The will must be signed by you, by another person at your direction and in your presence, or by your conservator pursuant to a court order; The will must be witnessed by at least two people, both of whom must also sign the will; and. You must intend for the document to operate as a will.
To ensure your will is legally valid, it must meet the following Minnesota will requirements: Be in writing (typed, not oral or video) Signed by the testator (you) Signed in the presence of two competent witnesses, who are: At least 18 years old. Of sound mind. Not beneficiaries of the will.
If you are of legal age and of sound mind, you can draft your own will. However, a will drafted by an attorney is much more likely to encompass all the estate law provisions, insuring a legal description of your wishes. A will document from the Internet or a software package can fail you as well.
If your personal property exceeds $75,000 or you own real estate in your name alone, your estate must be probated.
