InHouse Wills & Probate

Signing a Will

Unless correctly ‘attested’ (signed, with witnesses), a Will is meaningless. Having your Will writer supervise the process reduces the chances of problems. If you witness a Will, it means you cannot benefit from the Will.

Signing a Will

There is a lot of confusion around something as basic as the attestation process i.e. the signing signing of a Will. These notes should help to dispel a few myths and help ensure your Will is valid.

For these and other reasons it is good practice for the execution of your Will to be supervised by your Will writer. If you choose to do it on your own, you should still have it checked afterwards. Once it is signed the Will must be kept safe, somewhere you can be sure it will be found later. NEVER keep it at home. We strongly recommend that you consider using professional Will storage and at InHouse we can include that as part of our service at no extra charge.
