How can I make an official will?

There are two ways for you to make a will: 1. You can draft a will on your computer.  When the will is typewritten, you will sign it and it must be witnessed and signed by two witnesses. 2. You can handwrite your will in your own handwriting and sign it. Wills are not required to be notorized. Note that a will does not avoid probate.  If your assets are more than $150,000 in value, you may want to use other estate planning methods to avoid the time and expense of probate.
