Re: Audio tape as a Last Will and Testament
Every state will view the matter of audio and/video taped wills as they see fit.
There is not be a uniform manner of dealing with this on a national level.
Your request for information must accordingly be more state specific.

Audio taped wills are specifically prohibited by statute. It may be admisible as collateral evidence or extrinsic evidence, but the tape, alone, will not be considered as a will in Wyoming
