Answer:
If your will is typed, it's best to correct it before signing. If that's not possible, you can insert your middle initial by hand and then initial next to it. For example, if your name is John C. Doe, write the 'C.' and then initial it as JCD. If it's clear from the will who you are, the absence of your middle initial shouldn't invalidate it, but correcting it is advisable if you can.
