No, in Massachusetts, it is not necessary to notarize your will to make it legal. Massachusetts does, however, allow you to make your will "self-proving." A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.

A widow's will must meet her state's standards in order to be considered legally valid. Typically, this means the will must be in writing and signed. States generally require the signatures of two neutral witnesses who watch the widow sign the document, and a notary may also be required.
Will Probate Be Necessary? Probate court proceedings aren't always necessary. Usually, they are required only if the deceased person owned assets in his or her name alone. Other assets can probably be transferred to their new owners without probate.
Technically, you can create your own will in Massachusetts. The only legal requirement is that you sign it in front of at least 2 witnesses and that those witnesses also sign the will.
