You need witnesses, then it'll be legal. Also you need to state who will be the executor (who will distribute your estate and pay outstanding debts with the money off your estate).

Yes and no! It can certainly be contested, jut on the fact whether you wrote it!
You can find a will on-line and it is cheap to have a Notary watch you sign it!
I'd also hit a few law sites or talk to a lawyer! The first consultation is free, and if you do it legally it will save a lot of grief, so to speak, later!

criminal bud is only hemp, which Im optimistic you be conscious of is only marijuana with an extremely low thc content fabric, this potential that smoking it extremely is going to do no longer something because of the fact there is not any thc, that's the lively element that makes people severe. optimistic it looks only like it, yet its thoroughly ineffective. I dont be conscious of what you advise via criminal bud, because of the fact there is not any bud it extremely is criminal interior america, federal regulation says its unlawful. What i presumed you meant become bud which you spot in magazines like severe cases, that's hemp, no longer different plant life no longer grass, no longer lettuce. this is ineffective once you're attempting to get severe, yet may be used industrially for many stuff. And for the girl that went on approximately how its a conspiracy, this is, yet that wasnt the question.

You must have a witness and it still will probably have to go through probate. The idea of a lawyer prepared will is to avoid probate and the time and expense that is incurred for that. Which could be 5 to 10% of your estate.

no its simply a letter of wishes or comfort letter, the will must be in conformity with s9 wills act 1837 if you are in the UK.
A letter of wishes is not going to have any legal effect and should you die the administration of estates act 1925 will effect who inherits according to the intestacy rules.

A will has to be clearly set out and worded properly, so as not to be questioned after you are gone, and it needs to be signed and witnessed in front of a solicitor.

It is very wise to have a will but doing it this way
you would be leaving your estate wide open to be contested - you can find much useful information online. You could always prepare one and then have it checked out by someone qualified.
Good luck and do please be careful.

The office supply stores like staples have do it yourself will kits that explain what you need to do, in order for it to be legal.

It's legal, but the question is.....is it binding?
Only one witness required in Scotland. Not sure about elsewhere.

No, you will have to do it through a lawyer or use a legal document.
