Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Making a Will Legal-wording
In California
Does the Document submitted to
the probate court as a ''will''
need to expressly state that it is a will?
ie. it has similiar wording
but never mentioned death, will, or last desires? We would have to use our thoughts to state it is a will-the document does not mention it and we would have to presume
it. Is that a Will that is Valid under California Law

Re: Making a Will Legal-wording
I have just done extensive research on this issue. The law is quite liberal if the document is handwritten. I would have to take a look at it to give you an accurate answer. However, if you think it might be a will, then it most likely is.
If you would like to contact me, feel free to do so.
