More details to this question:
My husband has a will granting all of his uncles belongings and house to him. He passed away several years ago and we were unaware. All of the pages of the will are signed, but the last page is not and it is not notarized. Does this mean that we have lost everything?
1 ANSWER
It really depends. Wills are not required to be notarized; in fact, they should not be notarized. Wills should have two witnesses. Or they should be in the handwriting of the decedent. Also, we have had success getting improperly witnessed wills admitted to probate. The key is working with an experienced probate attorney and getting started ASAP! Do not delay!
