For a Will to be valid in New York, the Will must be in writing, signed by the Testator in the presence of two attesting witnesses who must both attest the Testators signature and, at the request of the Testator, sign their names and affix their residence addresses at the end of the Will within 30 days.
Can you make a will without a lawyer in New York? Yes, you can create a will without a lawyer in New York.
No, in New York, you dont need to docHub your will to make it legal. However, New York 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.
