The best way to draw up a will is by seeking the help of an attorney. A lawyer can ensure that your wishes are accurately and properly put into writing, as well as provide knowledgeable advice on matters such as estate taxes, guardianships for minor children, trust funds, inheritance laws in different states or countries, etc.
A will must also be signed and witnessed in accordance with the applicable state law. In some jurisdictions this may involve two witnesses who sign in front of each other so that there can be no dispute about their legitimacy; others require three witnesses. Depending on where you live or where your assets are located will determine if any other additional requirements need to be fulfilled when signing a will such as notarization or having a witness prove identity through oaths taken before signing.
In addition to ensuring compliance with relevant law during the drafting process, it is important for all individuals making wills to review them regularly (every few years) to make sure they still reflect current wishes and circumstances—such things like marriage or divorce status which could impact what should go into a valid legal document like a Will – change over time! Finally, while creating an online "do-it-yourself" form may seem easier than hiring an attorney at first glance, consulting with an experienced professional is invaluable due diligence when planning out how assets should pass onto future generations upon death.
