An individual wanting to make a legally binding will must be 18 years of age or older.
Alabama requires that a valid will be in writing. You can write the will by hand, on a computer, or a typewriter.
When you make your will, you must be of sound mind.
If you can’t sign your will, you may have someone else sign the will on your behalf. This is known as “executing” the will.
It is a legal requirement that you execute your will in the presence of two witnesses who must also sign it. If you have named someone as a beneficiary in your will, they may not be a witness to its execution.
