- Category: Wills and Estates
- Date:
- State: Arizona
Answer:
In Arizona, a valid will must meet specific requirements. It must be in writing, signed by the testator (the person making the will), and signed by at least two witnesses (A.R.S. § 14-2502). However, a will that is entirely handwritten by the testator is considered a Holographic Will. This type of will does not require witnesses and is still valid in Arizona.
