In the state of Washington, a Will that is not signed by the testator (the person who dies leaving a will or "testament") AND two disinterested witnesses is not valid. This is also true of any later changes to a Will—in fact, writing on an otherwise valid Will can render it invalid.

Without an enforceable Will, Washington law will determine what happens to your assets, which may not align with your wishes. If you have questions on whether your Will is valid in the state of Washington, contact the experienced attorneys of Lucent Law.

If you are someone who has been putting off getting your estate plan done, we also have easy-to-purchase Will packages to get you started.

As the article points out, multiple wills create confusion and the potential for fighting between beneficiaries. It is important to have an updated will as part of an overall estate plan, with the will making clear it supersedes all prior wills.

The discovery of handwritten wills in the home of the late Aretha Franklin could ignite a dispute among family members about the estate of the “Queen of Soul.”
