The requirements and restrictions governing Living Wills vary in each state; however, in Georgia, your Living Will must be signed by two witnesses. Witnesses cannot be anyone who is directly involved in your health care. Heirs and beneficiaries are excluded, as well.

Georgia law enumerates specific requirements that must be met for a will to be valid. The statutes concern the testator's (the person who creates the will) age and mindset and how the will is executed. Several factors can invalidate your will, such as it being made because of duress or undue influence.

In order for a will to be valid in Georgia, it must be written ? either typed or by hand. The will has to be signed by the testator (the person who drafted the will) or by someone he or she asked to sign the will on his or her behalf.

In Georgia, a valid will must be in writing and signed by either the person making the will or someone designated by the person making the will. A will prepared in another state may be valid in Georgia if it meets certain requirements.

No, in Georgia, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal. However, Georgia allows you to make your will "self-proving" and you'll need to go to a notary if you want to do that. A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.

In the state of Georgia, a Will must conform to five stipulations to be legal and valid: The Testator (person making the Will) must have capacity to complete a Will. The Testator must be at least 14 years old. The Will must be typed or handwritten on paper.
