What makes a Will invalid in NY?

Unlike some other states, New York requires a Will be in writing. A Will must be signed by the testator (drafter) and witnessed by two individuals who are at least 18 years of age. The witnesses cannot be a beneficiary under the will. The wrong witness will irretrievably invalidate the will.

Do wills have to be filed in New York?

The Will must be filed in Surrogates Court and admitted for probate before the wishes of the person who died can be followed. If the person who died had less than $50,000 of personal property, then a small estate (also called a voluntary administration) can be filed instead.

What are the requirements for a will to be valid in New York?

To be valid at all times, a Will must be in writing, dated and signed by the maker of the Will with two witnesses signing and adding their addresses under their signature. Just writing out your wishes without the witness formality is not suggested.
