Washington Last Will and Testament Form

A Washington last will and testament establishes enforceable rules for how a person’s property will be distributed after their death. The testator, as the creator of the will is called, decides which people or organizations are to receive portions of the estate’s assets. Estates without a will are subject to the state’s intestate succession plan, which may differ from how a testator wants their property distributed.

Laws – Title 11 (Probate and Trust Law)

Signing Requirements (§ 11.12.020) – A will must be in writing and signed by the testator. The signing should be observed, either in person or electronically, by two witnesses, who must also sign the will or an attached affidavit.
