Does my Will have to be notarized?

Legally, your Will does not have to be notarized*. However, it will be harder to administer after your death with no notarization.

Most Wills today are designed to be “self-proving”. This makes it easier to administer after death. A self-proving Will does require notarization.

*Unless you live in Louisiana, in which case you are legally required to have your Will notarized.
