[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3146556, member: 13624"] Be [I]very[/I] careful of the details in the execution. If it's not a holographic will (written [I]entirely[/I] in your own hand), then you need two witnesses who subscribe with names and addresses (I always try to get three just to be sure). You also need a date, and it's helpful to have a self-proving affidavit to prevent the need for the witnesses to testify at the probate hearing. Title 84 governs wills and succession; section 55 is particularly relevant. [URL]http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=72959[/URL] This is one of those things where hiring a professional to get it right is worth it, because you don't get a second chance. Also, the fact that she's your ex makes it easier; there's what's known as the "forced share" for a spouse that you can't avoid short of a prenup. Since you two are no longer married, that won't apply. [/QUOTE]
