Re: legally filing a will
It must be signed by the testator on the bottom, i.e. after the last dispositive paragraph, and it must be acknowledged by the testator as his/her last will and testament in the presence and vision of at least two adult witnesses. The witnesses then must sign their names that they acted as witnesses, and provide their residence addresses on the document.
