In Arkansas, a valid Last Will and Testament must be signed by the testator, the testator must be at least 18 years of age, the testator must be of sound mind, and the Will must be signed and witnessed by at least two (2) witnesses.
It is ideal to include an attestation clause and a witness attestation affidavit.
The testator must declare that this is his or her Will, and the Will must have testamentary language.
The legal requirements for a valid Will is quite simple, however, the vast majority of hand-written Will are invalid, and most internet Wills are not comprehensive and incomplete.
The only way to guarantee that your Will is valid, admissible in court, comprehensive, and executed properly is to engage an Arkansas estate planning attorney. You may be surprised to learn that the cost of a Will pulled off the internet is actually more expensive than a Will at Reeves Law Firm.
