Wills in Indiana don't need to be notarized to be valid, but notarization can make the probate process smoother. That's because, when a will is notarized, it means the probate court doesn't have to summon the witnesses to make sure the will is legally binding.

Capacity: The testator must be of sound mind. Signature: The will must be signed by the testator or by someone else at the testator's direction and in the testator's presence. Witnesses: At least two witnesses must sign an Indiana last will and testament in order for it to be valid.
