To make a valid will under Michigan law, the will must be: In writing; Signed by the testator or by some other person in the testator's conscious presence and at the testator's direction; and. Signed by at least two witnesses.
Under Michigan law, a will must be filed with the court with reasonable promptness after the death of the testator. MCL 700.2516. So, after you pass away, your will should be filed in your local probate court by the person named to be your personal representative (also called an \u201cexecutor\u201d or \u201cadministrator\u201d).
During the testator's lifetime, the will is not a public record and may only be removed by the testator or by his/her designee. Designees must use the Authorization to Release Will held for Safekeeping ( PC 548).
If you intend to leave most of your property to your nearest family, you can make a simple and effective will without a lawyer using the Michigan statutory will. You can use our Do-It-Yourself Will tool to prepare your will.
In Michigan, will laws require the testator to be at least 18 years old, signed by two competent witnesses, and may not be oral. Unlike most other states, Michigan wills may be handwritten (also referred to as "holographic").

No, in Michigan, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal. However, Michigan allows you to make your will "self-proving" and you'll 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.
A will that is not properly witnessed is generally not valid in Michigan. Valid witnessing of a will requires that it be signed by two individuals who either actually observed the testator signing the will, or were present when the testator acknowledged that the signature on the will is their own.
Michigan does permit handwritten wills (Mich. Comp. Laws § 700.2502), but they are usually not a good idea. A holographic will in Michigan must be dated, and the material provisions in the will and the signature must be in your handwriting.
