Re: can a will be legal if not signed
An unsigned will will not be admitted to probate in Washington, and thus will not be recognized by the courts. There may be other ways to achieve recognition for your anunt's wishes, depending on the circumstances. More facts are needed in order to make a determination.

If it is a typed will, it must be signed and witnessed by 2 people.
