Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Alabama

Re: wills in alabama

They don't need to be notarized, but you do have to have two witnesses to the testator's signature. However, in order to make the will "self-proving", you must have the proper language and a notary. Down the line, it is much easier to have it self-proving so you don't have to locate one of the witnesses to admit the will to probate.
