Re: Florida Requirements for a valid will
In Florida, a will must be in writing and be signed at the end by either the testator or someone else who signs the testator's name in the presence of the testator if he is incapable to do so himself. The signing must be in the presence of two (2) witnesses who must also sign the will.
In addition, the testator must be at least 18 years of age and of "sound mind."
Good luck with your project.
