Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Will, basic requirements to make a will binding
administrator of father's estate, i have been challenged by one of the heirs that the will is not legal because it was not noterized by a notery public. my father's will was accomplished by his attorney's secratary, and the attorney and secretary signed it as witnesses. It was not noterized. Is there a legal requirement for wills to be notorized to make them legally binding?

Re: Will, basic requirements to make a will binding
In order for a will to be binding it has to be witnessed by two people. If the will in question was signed by two witnesses than it is legally binding. A will does not have to be notarized. The heir has to come up with a better reason for contesting the will than that. I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
John Hayes, Esq.
