Two names where? Only the maker of the Will puts his or her name on the instrument. The will does need to be executed in the presence of two witness and a notary public or else it may not be self proving or valid. She would be smart to have the will drafted by an attorney so she will know that it has been done properly and her wishes will be carried out upon her demise.
