Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

Re: Wills

Wills at a minimum must be signed be the person making will. Witnesses aren't required as long as the person signing it does so with a signature and not a mark like and X.

That said you can go down to the Register of Wills at the court house and see the same of a self-proving will.

Is it legal to draft your own will? Sure but there are so many ways to mess up its a horrible idea. For starters you might forget something that you own and if you haven't drafted the will correctly that property will be passed as though you didn't have a will at all. What should happen if say one of there persons you named to inherit dies before the drafter. What happens if the property mentioned in the will is no longer owned by the drafter when he dies.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

The initial consultation is free.
