What is required to create a Will?

While each state may have different requirements for creating a valid Will, a valid Will in Minnesota must be a written document signed by a person who is at least 18 years old and of "sound mind." In addition, two witnesses must also sign the Will indicating that they witnessed the person's signature or were present when the person making the Will acknowledged that he or she signed the Will.  An attorney can assure that the requirements to make a valid Will are strictly followed.
