Dear Sir / Madam,

A Will to be valid can be written on a plain piece of paper signed by the Testator (Maker of the Will) in the presence of two witnesses who have to also sign with their names and addresses written on the Will signifying that the Testator has signed the Will in their presence. In your case the Will being invalid if it is not signed by two witnesses, you will need to rely on the Succession Certificate from the Court to action the transfer of the title of the estate of the deceased to the next of kin.

Regards,
