Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
My sister took our mother to a legal services plan attorney offered by her employer to set up a will. The will was signed by my mother and witnessed by two other people. It was on plain paper, not on legal lettterhead, it was not signed by an attorney or notarized. Is this a legal will?

As long as your mother knew what she was doing and the natural objects that would ordinarily inherit and was not under the undue influence of anyone else, it is a good will. A will need not be notarized or on any particular type of paper.

Yes, I would say it was a valid will, but for capacity issues or undue influence. Tim Klisz
