Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York

Re: wills and estates

You might want an experienced attorney review and supervise the execution of your will.

The cost is minimal compared to the potential problems which could occur after your death if an error is made. Furthermore, with a self-proving will supervised by an attorney, the witnesses probably need not appear in Surrogate's Court.

Re: wills and estates

In New York, a Will must be in writing, signed by the Testator (the person signing the Will) at the end and the signature of the Testator must be witnessed in writing by two disinterested individuals.
