Does a will have to be notarized in texas license#
Please note that the Texas Office of Court Administration has ruled that during this public health crisis Wills and other probate documents can be notarized remotely (viewed by a notary with a remote notarization license by Skype, Zoom or other method and sent to the notary to notarize). This can be "my heirs at law" or a charity.īecause such a Will will not attach a Self-Proving Affidavit (which must be signed, witnessed and notarized), the witnesses or two people familiar with the signature of the person who made the Will must testify in court that it is genuine in order to prove (probate) the Will. To avoid a "partial intestacy" and the requirement of an heirship hearing, a Will should state to whom the property will pass if the people named die before the person who made the Will. The Will must describe the property to be given and name the people to whom it goes. It must be completely written in the Will-maker's (testator's) own handwriting, dated, signed and witnessed (include dates of witnessing) by two people 14 or older who actually see the testator sign and whom the testator sees sign (even if through a window or from across the room or in a hallway adjoining the room). A handwritten Will need not be notarized.
